Pooping Nativity

Wow, yeah, this could offend some people. I'd better start by saying "Fuck you (No offense intended)" so you've got a reason to be offended...

I have nothing to say about this article, but it clearly needed to be quoted here:

Placing statuettes of defecating people in Nativity scenes is a Christmastime tradition so old and so strong in Spain's Catalonia region that even the Roman Catholic Church here doesn't dare try to ban it.

When an exhibit of the figurines in a California museum sparked an angry denunciation from a Catholic group in the United States, Catalonians who cherish the tradition came ardently to its defense....

Spanish artist Antoni Miralda's exposition "Poetical Gut" at Copia, a food, wine and arts museum in Napa, Calif., features ceramic figurines of the pope, nuns and angels with their pants down, squatting over their bowel movements.

I'd thank Digital Sextant for making me aware of this, but "thanks" might not be appropriate.
