OK, most of this article is pretty normal, churches outraged at someones bad taste kind of thing, but check out the last paragraph.

'Beckham Nativity' Tableau Outrages Churches

Wed Dec 8, 9:10 AM ET Oddly Enough - Reuters

By Paul Majendie

LONDON (Reuters) - Church leaders united Wednesday to condemn a Christmas nativity tableau depicting soccer star David Beckham as Joseph and his pop singer wife Victoria as the Virgin Mary.

Anglicans, Catholics and Presbyterians called the exhibit at Madame Tussaud's waxwork museum in London a new low in the cult of celebrity worship.

In the tableau, Australian pop star Kylie Minogue hovers above the crib as an angel while "Posh Spice" Victoria lays her shawled head tenderly on Beckham's shoulder.

Tony Blair (news - web sites), George W. Bush and the Duke of Edinburgh star as The Three Wise Men. The shepherds are played by Hollywood star Samuel L. Jackson, British actor Hugh Grant and camp Irish comedian Graham Norton.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dubya as one of the WISE MEN!!!??? I thought you had to have an IQ of more than room temprature to be considered a wise man?

And Hugh Grant? Personally, I think he's a great actor and enjoy watching him, but I can't see a guy who was picked up on prostitution charges attnding the devine birth.

Full article here.

OK, just saw this and just thought it was so stupid I had to tell somebody. Feel free to hijack away.

I had the same reaction. I spilled my soda, but I'm not sure if it was because I was laughing or pissed off.

O.k. lil duckie, I figured with you doin a manger thread it was gonna be kinda kinky, but Tony Blair and G.W.B., that is freakin beastiality plain and simple. I am really worried about the lil donkey that might get invaded (Eeeeeek!) but hopefully there won't be any ducks done wrong.

I read somewhere that going to the original texts, a proper translation would be neither "Wise" nor "Men."

Rather, if the source material was consulted, a better translation would be "Great One."

Wouldn't that be Jackie Gleason?

We ducks stand on the moral high ground and look down uppon the common folk. They wouldnt dare defile my feathers with their sacrilege.

But the donkey had it commin'.

A manger thread?

OK, I'm game. Who should we put in the AH manger?

vella as the Virgin Mary. Lucky and ABS as Joseph. Evil, CD, Shanglan and minsue as the animals. CV as the Star. amicus, Joe, and Stalinbot as the Wise Men. And myself as the Baby Jesus.

Because I think ours should be boycotted by a full 100% of the religious leaders as well as upholding a stern code of irony.

EDITED TO ADD: And Stup Dity, Lisa, and Tates should be the shepards in order to depict the most distracted and oddly "conjoined" holy witnesses in a manger scene ever.

 

[rgraham666]

I nominate Ogg, gauche, and cantdog for the Three Wise Kings.

I have no idea who to cast as Mary. Where are we going to find a virgin around here?

Well, off the top of my head I think you could prolly get rap-master Stup Dity to do a "homeboy in da crib" type thingie and doormouse would be a good mangy, uh, I mean manger animal, but if you ask BlackShanglan to be the donkey your feathers is gonna fly.

Personally, I say Lucky stays Joseph, (or Josephine) but ABS is the Angel.

And I'd make Ogg, Doc M and Rumple or Cantdog the 3 wise men.

No. Your fresh fucked glow is what gets me off late at night.

Just getting everyone in the neighborhood into the Holiday Spirit.

 

[Virtual_Burlesque]

So.

Honey is doing the scene with the donkey (Evil Alpaca or BlackShanglan) when three Wiseguys come in and tell Joseph and Mary to take it on the lamb.

This, quite naturally, upsets the shepherds, so that they commence to arguing so loudly that no one harkens to the Herald Angel.

During the ensuing disruption, several people get hit in the head so hard that they see stars.

Baaaa!

I saw this on the news tonight. Once I'd got over the shock of seeing those faces there it did look kinda funny. Graham Norton is especially cool, the way he's leaning towards the manger.

My only big issue is with the sodding Beckhams being Mary and Joseph. Wtf is that all about??? They should've chosen Richard and Judy, or summat.
