Kill me now

Post by Scooter »

At first I was like “meh” when I heard about a “hipster” nativity scene for the holidays. That was, until I actually saw it. I have to admit I laughed out loud. It’s pretty darn clever. I mean, the three wise men on Segways bearing gifts from Amazon!? Too perfect. One of these generic “individuals” even has a waxed mustache. Nice detail.

And Mary. Mary holding a cup of Starbucks next to baby Jesus while making a pursed-lip duck face for their selfie. Now I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but Mary looks like she’s on some type of opiate as well. Just look at her blissfully beatific expression! She clearly needs that frappuccino just to keep her eyes open.

Lastly, I giggled at the knitted sweater on the sheep. Because sheep in sweaters is actually a thing. And it’s dumb. And it’s so very, very 2016.

The hipster nativity scene can be purchased here for $129.99.

"Hipster" is a grossly misleading characterization...

I'm guessing "Vacuous Millennials Nativity Scene" didn't focus group well...

Oh the details. The solar panels on the roof. And the shepherd is posting it to instagram.

Pretty sure one of the wise men is transgender.
GAH!

That's totally freaking hilarious! If I had money to burn, I know *just* who I'd send it to. :lol:

The set got a chuckle from me, but I can't imagine anyone wanting to own one. The thought of someone spending nearly $130 on one is much funnier IMHO.

Then there is this abomination - a Hanukkah gingerbread house.

Does it come as a kit or prebuilt?

the first on I would definitely consider a work of art...., biting social commentary with a smile. I like it. for 12.99 I like it, that is. at 129.99 it is even funnier...

the second one is beautiful, don t know if it s kosher tho...
