1) Kidnap baby Jesus in the dark of night
2) Take said baby on a road trip and photograph him in front of various landmarks
3) Send Polaroids (you can still get those, right?), one every couple days with notes that say things like "Having a great time in Nashville (or wherever) and I'm never coming back!
4) Return the newly cosmopolitan pseudo Savior in the dead of night about a month later with a note attached that says "I'm tired"

When I worked in Indy Car racing back in the 90's me and a team mate almost did this to a lawn burro. We were going to take it all over the country, show it working in Pit Lane at the Indy Speedway, Pics of it at the Queen Mary in Long Beach, hauling golf clubs in Phoenix, etc. but it never happened.
