So as some of you may or may not know, Madame Tussauds (the wax museum in London) recently unveiled a new display: The Nativity Scene. However instead of using faceless shepherds and a glowing angel, they decided that it would be funny if they used current figures and celebrities. Left to right: Samuel Jackson, Hugh Grant, Graham Norton, shepherds. David, Victoria Beckham, Joseph and Mary. Tony Blair, Duke of Edinburgh, George W. Bush as Wise Men. Kylie Minogue as Angel.

Personally for me, this totally cracks me up. I am sure that Madame Tussauds thought it was a hook. But now the Vatican is all in an uproar, people in the Christian community are all pissed off.

Talk about total hypocrisy.

You can have the sleaziest most sinful people playing the roles in the Pasion of the Christ, but God forbid (and I do mean that) a wax representation of a Spice Girl be used for Mary and holy hell breaks loose.

I don’t know what’s wrong with the religious community but where in the world is your sense of humor. The good Lord gave you one, perhaps its time you used it. I’m tried of narrow minded tightwads who’ve got their underwear crammed so far up their buttocks they can use it as a snifter. The Life of Brian is a great movie, the Jesus in South Park is a riot, and the Church Lady is an all time classic. I love to see little fish with legs on it that say Darwin. I think turn about is more than fairplay.

I think Jesus was a person of tremendous humor, loved to laugh, loved to enjoy life and we have worked hard for nearly 2000 years to suck all of the joy out of this existence he has given us.

“I have come to give you life, and life to the full” – Jesus, The Bible

Somebody pass me a double cheese burger will ya and be sure to add bacon.

While I’m on this little rant, I *still* hate stupid church signs. This one comes from the Lutheran Church on the corner of Cook and Coldwater:


Faith is not taught, it’s caught.
Catch it.

WOW, that’s total news to me. Here I’ve been under the impression that my believe in God was grounded in knowledge, hope and personal experience. Come to find out it’s mearly a communicable disease that is spread from one unwary person to the next. Immunize now! Beware, faith is spreading. It’s going to turn out to be a major pandemic. Disco Fever – Catch it.
