Default Top Gear's boy racers incur the wrath of Christians with Baby Stig in a manger stunt

It seems that not a day goes by without the Top Gear boys getting themselves into hot water.



After causing anger amongst Muslims for donning burkas in the Boxing day special, Jeremy Clarkson and his co-stars have now provoked the ire of Christians who claim a nativity scene depicting the new Stig as the baby Jesus was flippant and a step too far.



Angry Christians have taken to web forums to protest at what they say is an insult to Christianity.

I hope I dont offend any Christians here, but that is the funniest damn thing ever!

I'm a Christian, and I think it's just appalling that people would get all pissy about stuff like this. Have a sense of humor.

Wow people complain about this but not how a fat man led by flying deer breaks into houses once a year or how an egg laying rabbit somehow represent other Christian holidays. People just want to complain about something.

I was watching that special and jumped up off the couch because I thought that scene was so hilarious.
