Via The New Humanist, (itself via The Metro) I’ve just come across this brilliantly subversive seasonal painting, called “A Glasgow Nativity Scene”. The Metro dubs it “The Chavtivity”, but should probably more appropriately called a “Nedivity scene”, given Ned is the term used for, er, Chav up here.
A bottle of Buckie, a box of cigarettes and a satellite receiver of dubious origin are the gifts from the three, er, men. Modern day humble origins indeed.
Absolute genius.

Odd.
I received it in an e:mail, titled Middlesbrough Nativity Scene on 1st December, then subsequently Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham.
Ubiquitous springs to mind.
