Hi, let's insult Christianity today

So, Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum in London released their nativity scene to the public and guess who's filling the roles:

Joseph and Mary: the Beckhams

the Wise Men: Tony Blair, George W. Bush, and the Duke of Edinburgh

Shepherds: Samuel L. Jackson, Hugh Grant, etc.

Angel: Kylie Minogue

So my question is, were they intentionally trying to offend Christians or did they not realize that they maybe, just maybe not like the idea of having the extravagant Beckhams representing the Holy Mother and her husband?

Hell, I'm not a Christian and I'm offended. It may not be a big deal considering it's in a wax museum (which is kitschy enough as it is), but the fact that they could use some of the biggest symbols of material wealth as the cast of this scene just seems preposterous.

And Blair, Bush and the Duke of Edinburgh may be smart people, but they're not wise.

This whole thing just makes me wonder, is this the culture we're living in? Really, is it? Because I want out.
