How many things "wrong" can you spot in this picture?

Click the pic for a larger version.

By "wrong" I mean Biblically or historically inaccurate or doubtful (assuming it's intended to represent a scene early in Christ's earthly life).

But, realizing that there is a wide diversity of opinions among historians (and theologians), I will be open-minded. Like a good school teacher, I will just ask you to support your arguments.

BTW at both Staples and Chapters today the Interac was extremely fast. I wonder if there are better systems than others. One cashier said that it is not always that fast (depending on busyness).

I can't be bothered to link back to my Tim Horton's post. It was a few days ago, if you don't know (if you care).

Actually, it was a few days ago, whether you know that or not and whether you care or not.

The verification word is "apahhu".

First of all, Joseph has three eyes. This is wrong.
Second: The wise men really didn't arrive the night he was born
Third: It shouldn't be Dec 25
Fourth: The version I know doesn't include Ed the talking horse
Fifth: Do angels really have boobs?
Sixth: A pig Richard? How distasteful!
Seventh: If the boob-clad angel really was singing out musical notes, I don't think the third would have been upside down.
Eighth: Why is there a cross in the star?

Re. Gomery parody below:

I sang it today at our church Christmas party, introduced as "A parody of 'O Christmas Tree' to the tune of ... 'O Christmas Tree'.

let's see...
angel should be a man, and i think when they angel was doing the singing part others had joined him.
should be shepherds not a shepherd
dec 25th- don't think so, year 3? i can't remember. (though I wasn't there:) but not year 0 anyway.
I'm pretty sure Joseph only had 2 eyes but I didn't research it
The astrologers? came much later when Mary and Joseph were living in a house.
the stable was perhaps more like a cave and the manger a ledge on the side, not so pretty and bright anyway. dark, dirty.
what else.....

1) The pig wouldn't be smiling if he was the only on in the barn without a halo.
2) Shouldn't there be a fourth wall on the barn too?
3) The black power outlet on the side of the barn should be a ground-fault -interrup outlet.
4) There should be a baby in the manger, not a giant pawn from a chess set.
5) It appears that all the men only have one foot/leg. (except the shepherd, but maybe he's a girl--but if that's so, where are her boobs?)
6) If the shepherd stood up, her staff would be too short.
7) I like the horse especially.

PS: Thanks for posting this.
