Julian Assange in Naples Nativity ( What Would Julian Do) LOL
Edited on Wed Dec-08-10 05:39 PM by Joanne98


Julian Assange, the Wikileaks whistle-blower, may have murderers and rapists as his companions as he languishes in a London prison, but his miniature double is in rather more exalted company.

Craftsmen in Naples have for centuries earned their living carving wooden Nativity figures and for the last few years have extended their repertoire to celebrities, politicians and others in the news.

This year they have bestowed the dubious honour on Julian Assange, 39, who is in Wandsworth prison after being denied bail over allegations of sex assault against two Swedish women.

The figure of Mr Assange is on display in Via San Gregorio Armeno, a narrow alley in the historic heart of Naples, in amongst dozens of Wise Men, Virgin Marys, Josephs, sheep and oxen.
