Group's Census promo called 'blasphemous'

A push to spread the gospel about the 2010 Census this Christmas is stoking controversy with a campaign that links the government count to events surrounding the birth of Jesus.

The National Association of Latino Elected Officials is leading the distribution to churches and clergy of thousands of posters that depict the arrival of Joseph and a pregnant Mary in Bethlehem more than 2,000 years ago. As chronicled in the Gospel of Luke, Joseph returned to be counted in a Roman census, but he and Mary found no room at an inn, and Jesus was born in a manger.

2. It's all that loose stuff in their heads. Kinda like one of

those maracas made from a gourd. You can buy them from roadside stands anywhere in Mexico. I call them,
Los Fundiosos. They make a nice sound. I haven't tried shaking a Freeper. I'm betting it would make a similar sound.
