A topless activist tried to snatch the baby Jesus from the Nativity scene in St. Peter’s Square in Rome on Monday.

The Christmas shenanigan unfolded as the activist, with the radical women’s group Femen, jumped over the railing around the scene and lunged for the statue of Jesus before she was foiled by a Vatican gendarme.

The woman screamed, “God is woman!” and had the same slogan painted on her back.

The drama took place a mere two hours before Pope Francis delivered his Christmas tidings to some 50,000 people in the square.

The woman was identified on Femen’s Web site as Alisa Vinogradova

Military trial and immediate execution of sentence.

They want to play like men, they should have to PAY like men.

I appreciate topless protests when gravity hasn’t had too many years to work his dastardly deed. Her I give a 6. Maybe a 7 if the cold weather made them perky.

I think that’s St. Martin of Tour cutting his clock for the naked man. If you look at St. Martin you can see the sword on his left hip.

Well, at least she didn’t poop on the nativity scene.

It would take someone from OWS to do something like that.

I think the relationship is exponential, not asymptotic.

The statues on the left are dressed like they are straight out of 1800.

[j.havenfarm]

Right. Intentionally so. They’re supposed to look like 18th century Naples. The theme is the corporal works of mercy. Take a look at a lot of religious art. The people are often dressed in the clothes from the period the art came from. It’s the “banned from the Bible” crack. Through a process ending in the third century the church collectively decided what scripture they thought authentic from apostolic Times, and which were not. With some minor variations between Christian sects this is the accepted canon today. So what are you getting at?

DANG!

Putin should hold up numbers rating them. Probably wouldnt need any card higher than a 4. That would really cheese them.
