I hate art vandalism--especially religious bigots

A billboard outside a New Zealand showed the Mary gasping in shock at a (positive) pregnancy test.
Virgin Mary billboard sparks outrage in New Zealand
I'm going to make it a point from now on whenever a peice of artwork is vandalized, destroyed or suppressed, I'm going to echo it here in this blog. Like, how harmful can this painting be? I thought that was the whole idea of the virgin birth: Mary tells Joseph she's pregnant; Joseph plans to "put her away" (i.e. send her back to her parents); an angel appears to Joseph in a dream and tells him it's all good. So Joseph is cool with it. All this does it put a (humorous) modern-day spin on it. And the bastard who vandalized it with a pair of scissors is proud of what he did. Think about it: he cut-up a picture of the Virgin Mary. He should be on his knees mumbling his rosary while begging forgiveness for this desecration.
