Unusual Nativity Scene

[Pirate1974]

Madame Tussaud's wax museum in London is displaying what has to be one of the most unique nativity scenes of all time.

For starters, Joseph and Mary are portrayed by British soccer star David Beckham and his wife Victoria, formerly known as Posh Spice.

The shepherds are actors Samuel L. Jackson and Hugh Grant and Comedy Central's Graham Norton.

Australian disco hottie Kylie Minogue is the angel.

British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Prince Philip and President George W. Bush are the three Wise Men. (Insert your own joke here.)

Apparently, the Vatican and the Anglican Church are not amused, especially with a Spice Girl as the Virgin Mary.

You gotta admit, its one of a kind.

who's the baby ?

Just typical - more religious bodies with absolutely no sense of humour! :D-->

How many of us would have even HEARD of this if not for the objections of the pious?

I don't know much about art, except that it immitates life.

It's true I never would have known about it except for you guys/ But now that I see it, I'm impressed in a very positive way.

I think the idea of Jesus coming for "all" is what is intended, and the faces applied to the various wardrobes morely represent the various types of humanity and their cultures.

But maybe not - - maybe it's just designed to be funny. Well - there is humor in there if you can disengage yourself enough to see it.

My personal opinion, which doesn't count for much, is that it is a wonderful piece of art and those who are pointing fingers may be too sensitive.

That's hilarious.

Why didn't they choose Madonna to be the Madonna?

Beckham looks more like an elf from LOTR than "Joseph"!

It certainly reminds me of the old joke...

Q) Why couldn't Jesus be born in xxxx.

A) They couldn't find 3 wise men and a virgin.

The pope thinks it is a disgrace , I was litening to the news today and they said he discounts this.

If Posh Spice was at the Nativity, I don't think anyone would have called her the VIRGIN Mary.

Eggsalad Point Rafman!

You gotta admit, that's the most clothing anyone has ever seen on Kylie Minogue...

Oh, and one more thing I noticed...

Why would "Joseph" wear crosses (aka bling-bling) around his neck at THE BIRTH of Jesus? Sick.
