Why is it when I read this one person came to mind?


Reward offered for Baby Jesus

November 18, 2004

THE South Australian Brewing Company has offered six cases of beer to anyone who can produce Jesus.

The company today offered the reward after thieves made off with baby Jesus from its traditional nativity display earlier this week.

Brewery managing director Mark Powell said security footage showed a man scaling a fence and swiping baby Jesus from his manger along the banks of the River Torrens.

The nativity scene is part of the brewery's wider Christmas display - an Adelaide tradition for the past 45 years.

"The Christmas riverbank display has been an icon event in South Australia and this is the first time that anything of this kind has happened," Mr Powell said.


"We are very concerned about the wellbeing of baby Jesus and we are calling for his swift and safe return."

Mr Powell said a reward of six cases of beer had been offered for the return of the "child".

I would've taken Mary and wrote Jesus a ransom note..."If you ever want to see your Mother again..this is what I want..."

I'm impressed. An organization that the ACLU hasn't reviled for expressing their religious beliefs.

You know, Goth, the "A" in ACLU stands for "American." Not "Australian." Because we're the country with the whole First Amendment thing going on.

Any smart person would run out and buy a baby jesus taht looks like the stolen one, return it and collect the six cases of beer. They would still be making out because you have to figure that six cases of beer is worth more than a plastic baby jesus.

Is anyone else reminded of A Tuna Christmas?

"Virgil! Put the baby Jesus down! I mean it!"
