Screams of someone drunkenly thinking it would be a laugh. It would make you sad to think that people would do these kinda things. It just doesn't make sense, ya know?

I was thinking that but then saw it was the Cathedral. It's not exactly close to many pubs these days, certainly not ones populated with people who would do shit like this.

Bet some little scumbag thinks he's a legend for doing this now. There's just no need for it really, is there.

Oh he'll be back don't worry, there's no getting rid of that fella.

This is worse than the time the head of Jebediah Springfield was stolen.

Maybe they'll put the baby Jesus back in the crib on the 25th. Thats when holy types reckon that badboy was born.

It happened in Australia a few years ago, jesus was stolen from a brewery.

The brewery offered 6 cases of beer for the return of our saviour, unfortunatly it was left unclaimed.

What surreal reward do you think Waterford could offer for the much heralded return of the messiah?

A slap on the wrist?

calvin_zola

Why can't they just pray to St. Christopher and they'll find him?

Speak Now

Arrived a wee bit early did he?
I thought the tradition was the baby Jesus is not put in the crib until Christmas eve night.

Doubtful, religious fanatics wouldn't steal from a church. Somebody thinks they're real funny doing this, I'll bet.

He'll be back by sunday for his birthday presents.

I got him Lynx this year.

A few dusty bottles of Macardles from the bottom shelf of Kitty Kiernans pub?

Jesus was handed into the garda station. Good few cracks in it though.

A tray of blaas??

membersonly

I must say I'm heartened to see that most people have decided to take the piss out of this non event of a story.

How it even got into the news is beyond me.

ziedth

Really annoying to see it covered by RTE when you consider the whole Kate Fitzgerald/Irish Times issue raging on and not a word.

to be fair IT WAS A BIG STORY

who the fn hell would be so low as to do something like that. we can all say waterford is given bad press bla bla bla but this little runt did somethng very petty. im not religious but even i thnk that is pretty low to do such a thing. the statue is in pieces for f'n sake. i hope they had a right laugh anyway because thats all it was yea???

Your writing style is comparable to that of James Joyce, in Ulysses. Notable aspects include your flow of consciousness, i.e., everything you thought was written, and your experimental use of punctuation. I particularly liked the use of "bla bla bla" as a form of ellipsis, and your transcription as if in the Waterford dialect. 7/10

Where was the crib to be honest I do not like religious symbols out in public view, peoples religion should be kept to themselves. I am very anti religion it is just the cause of so much trouble and would love to see it done away with.


So basically I think this is a non story unless it was in church grounds.

The biggest crime of all was that this got more attention than the heaps of robberies of people's homes across the town.

Ha the ledgersdabag...not. Can't do anything or leave anyone anywhere without some tardforbrains trying to impress his echelons

The house robberies are scary, I would be scared for older members of the family. I hope someone stops them quickly or they break into the wrong persons house.

Comeragh mountains with them for a cuddle :mad:

I am also anti-religious, but to be honest I don't see a big problem with a crib as it has evolved into something more cultural and artistic more so than a purely religious icon, in my opinion anyway.

Plus, we also have a big Christmas tree in town (I assume, haven't been home yet). Remember that a Christmas tree is a Pagan icon, and the Bible warns against using one! Jeremiah 10, 1-5

nkay1985

Yeah I agree. I'm a devout athiest (:P) but don't mind a crib being displayed and don't condone some little scumbag messing with it.

Icky Thump

to be honest a crib being in public wouldnt offend my non religious belioefs at all. as someone above said it sould be looked at as artistic. i mean if you are so nti religion do you get offended by a church being in view or maybe a cross?? how about the christmas tree?? santa??? presents?? maybe your the one who stole/beat up poor jesus:D

seanybiker

Atheist meself. Not anti religious though. If someone is religious its not going to harm me.
It was a pity the thing was stolen. Whoever done it is a prick.
