Chicago officials don’t want ads for ‘The Nativity Story’ at Christmas fest

Reading the previous post, now this one… I am going crazy here from all of the idiots making decisions!
City officials in Chicago have sent a message to a movie studio that hoped to help sponsor a Christmas festival with ads for “The Nativity Story” — There’s no room for you.
Worried that ads for the film about Jesus’ birth would offend non-Christians browsing at a traditional German Christmas festival, the city has asked the German American Chamber of Commerce to reconsider New Line Cinema as a sponsor.
A spokesman for the Willow Creek Association of churches, based in the Chicago suburbs, objects that barring “The Nativity Story” from a Christmas festival is like “celebrating Lincoln’s birthday without talking about Abraham Lincoln.”
But a spokeswoman for the mayor of Chicago’s Office of Special Events says the city does not want to appear to endorse one religion over another.
