Thank god this did not have the ever so stupid 'wait, what' thing at the end of the headline. Unless some admin is going to rush in and add it on.

You usually only see this sort of behavior at school sporting events.

FTFA: "One bit the finger off the other and spat the blood out like an animal."

How does a human expel blood from their mouth and how, exactly, does it differ from how an animal does it?

If anything, I'd think an animal wouldn't spit out blood.

In the guy's defense, if the parent didn't want his fingers bitten off, he shouldn't have had fingers made out of meat.

Subby you idiot. You need to put "wait, what?" ar the end of the headline because it is funny and lets the stupid readers like me know that there is something incongruous about the headline that they need to find ... sort of like a "where's Waldo" but with words.

You think he cares that 2,000 years ago our Lord and Savior was born in a mangler?

Uh, I think you mean "manger."

No, no, honey, you're thinking of "manager."

That's the way ALL nativity plays should end.

Safe bet he was pointing in the guys face when that happened.

Never put your fingers near the mouths of psychos and strange dogs. Or Moray Eels, or large cats, or lawnmowers, well, you get the idea.

/yes, lawnmowers have mouths

I don't have to give my name and address to buy a newspaper; I won't provide personal information to read one online, either.

I wish Fark would flag stories that required registration to read.

Whoa whoa whoa, back up. No room at the Inn? That's not a very Jesus-y Nativity play!

Lone Stranger: Virgin birth ... yeah I'm supposed to believe that one.

I think Robot Chicken had the best take on this.

Mary: Hey, Joesph, remember how I told you I didn't want to have sex with you?
Joesph: Yeah?
Mary: Well, I don't know how, but I'm Pregnant!
Joesph's Friend: Hey, Joesph! How goes the plan to bang mary in her sle- Oh! Hi Mary.

Even in current versions of the Bible it says if you discover the woman you married isn't a virgin, that's a stonin'.

A few sheep and I will be heading out to a live nativity on Friday night. I do a few of these every year and they're boring as hell. Something like this would sure make life more interesting (as long as my fingers are not involved).

/ Every year I contemplate taking a young ram along with the ewes. Observers would be able to see that among the sheep there ain't no virgin birth. I, of course, would look on with complete surprise. Those naughty sheep! Who'd a thunk that they'd do any of that?

So Jesus wanders into town, finds the Inn and wanders up to the front desk. He hands the Innkeeper three nails and say "Can you put me up for the night?"

A 39-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assault and bailed by police.

The police bailed him out?

The 32-year-old victim was taken to hospital where he was treated for his injury before being discharged.

Coincidentally, Jesus didn't seriously start telling people to stop biting each others' fingers off until he was nearly 32.

And Joseph was a gay man
sleeping with a Roman soldier
the punishnment for gay sex was also to be stoned to death
that's why Santa has a beard.

Yeah, but he would have been alright of he wasn't such a ham-fisted fighter.

So the play was titled "A Gollum Christmas"?

Have you a recommendation of a different course of action for arrested suspects who take on water?

That doesn't sound like a place where they would be able to find three wise men or a virgin.

All people know of the nativity was that "Romans" were looking for kids.

Sure, Herod wasn't Roman, but he was a Roman puppet.

The costumes would drive the point home.

I feel so sorry for the kids. "Why can't we put our play on?" "Sorry Tommy, your dad bit another finger off."

In the spirit of making the costumes play to the audience, I propose a helmet with a crest, a sword, and a "Team Herod" t-shirt.

daffy: I came for the Jesus bashing. Sadly, I found it.

What do you mean "sadly"? Do you mean to say that you were in a state of grief at the time you found this alleged "Jesus bashing" you speak of? Or do you mean that it is a sad comment on something or other that you found it at all?
Clarify, man, clarify.

The First Four Black Sabbath Albums: Yet another way in which atheists are assholes.

I know, right! I mean this guy, in the article, goes to the play - and get this!- he even sends his kid into it- and the guy is all "I'm going to eat flesh and drink blood! Mwa-ha-ha-ha!!!"

I mean, seriously, what kind of an asshole would send his own son to do something that the kid obviously didn't want to do, and then force the son to engage in some sort of weird cannibalism? It's completely f**ed up. There has got to be something seriously wrong with a guy who would force his own son to suffer like that, and even worse, to engage in the bizarre ritual of eating human flesh! That's just crazy.

David Sedaris does a killer routine as a hateful theatre critic, critiquing school nativity plays. They usually play it on This American Life around Christmas time, along with Santaland Diaries.
