'Nativity' booted from Chicago holiday fair

CHICAGO -- A public Christmas festival is no place for the Christmas story, the city says. Officials have asked organizers of a downtown Christmas festival, the German Christkindlmarket, to reconsider using a movie studio as a sponsor because it is worried ads for its film "The Nativity Story" might offend non-Christians.

New Line Cinema, which said it was dropped, had planned to play a loop of the new film on televisions at the event. The decision had both the studio and a prominent Christian group shaking their heads.

"The last time I checked, the first six letters of Christmas still spell out Christ," said Paul Braoudakis, spokesman for the Barrington, Ill.-based Willow Creek Association, a group of more than 11,000 churches of various denominations. "It's tantamount to celebrating Lincoln's birthday without talking about Abraham Lincoln."

He also said that there is a nativity scene in Daley Plaza - and that some vendors at the festival sell items related to the nativity.

I was sitting here in my holiday bunker looking for reviews/news on the new movie, The Nativity. Secret decoder program running in the background assisted me in finding this communique from our chapter in Illinois.

Our overlord, the Anti-Christ-mas, sends greetings this winter season and ask that you all keep up the great work in the war. The christmas elf insurgency is close to being put down, and soon tapes of Santa and Pastor Haggard will be released through our secret enclave. Mrs. Claus will be none too happy, and the RW will rebel when they realize santa is gay and sneaking into their house with 'toys' for their kids, wrapped in rainbow wrapping paper.

This message will self destruct eventually.
