Baby Jesus, Mary, Joseph & Wikileaks | Italy

An Italian artist has placed the jailed Wikileaks founder Julian Assange in a Neapolitan Christmas creche this year as the artist's "Man of the Year" -- with Jesus, Mary and Joseph. The artist, Gennaro Di Virgilio, 29, who depicts Assange holding his trusty lap top, annually chooses at least one contemporary character to sculpt and place near the scenes of the traditional story of Jesus' birth in a manger. "I included him to poke a little fun at the world and have a good time," said Di Virgilio, whose family has been making nativity statuettes and ornate creches since 1830.
