Joel Krupnik and Mildred Castellanos decked the front of their Manhattan mansion this year with a scene that includes a knife-wielding 5-foot-tall St. Nick and a tree full of decapitated Barbie dolls. Hidden partly behind a tree, the merry old elf grasps a disembodied doll's head with fake blood streaming from its eye sockets.

Some people are just seriously disturbed.
That's being general to Krupnik. I doubt he's mentally or emotionally disturbed. He's a multimillionaire who's probably quite intelligent -- and is very bigoted. Don't give him the cop-out of calling him "disturbed." He hates christmas and the christians who celebrate it, and he has made a moral choice to indulge and flaunt that hatred. It's a hatred he shares with many of the people who make up the current Democratic establishment, and its donor base in places like New York.
These people are sick.
You are exactly right.
Are they any more sick than the Democratic operatives who advertised an anti-Christian token on the Washington State Democratic Party website? Anti-christian bigotry is a virus that has caught hold of the Democratic party. You could see it in the way Shumer and Feinstein skewered Ashcroft for his religion, in his AG confirmation hearings. Scary stuff.
Wow, and I thought the Santa working at the local outdoor mall looked a bit strange. (He was wearing shorts.)
Yeah, that's his spin. Clinton said he loves America and protected it as president. That's not believable either.
HAsn't David Duke said he loves blacks and Jews? That's a lie too.
Yeah, and he just wants to throw his trashy beliefs all over the population.
I'm sure the next time this guy makes the news it won't be for a fake santa.
You REALLY shouldn't post articles from a Seattle paper, when this is happening in N.Y.C, and the N.Y. Post ( a CONSERVATIVE paper !) has been covering this, IN DETAIL all week long. Why not go to the source and have ALL of the facts laid out?
The wealthy can be psychos too.
Well, you claim to be a Conservative and that's not really true. :-)
Hating a holiday that promotes charity, good will, and family qualifies as being disturbed. Furthermore hating it enough to put up a display of gratuitous blood and gore defacing some of the symbols of the holiday qualifies as being disturbed.
In all other things, this man is probably stable and normal. Then again, he probably isn't.
The method that this sick person used to protest the commercialism of Christmas just doesn't add up.
If he wanted to protest the commercialism of Christmas, I would think he would do something along the line of displaying a manger with a Walmart sign, or Mary with a credit card, etc.
Why the disturbingly violent display? I think he wanted to do something sick because he is sick and enjoys shoving it in everyone's face under the pretense of protest.
Sorry but this has nothing to do with Christianity. I find it humorous some in the religious right are up in arms about private companies saying or not saying Merry Christmas. As if keeping Christ's name in all of it somehow justifies the whole retail industry around Christmas.
It's not that big a deal. Someone with a little dark humor. So what? It's not an attack on Christ but rather, at least according to this gentleman, the commercialization that has arisen in the past 100 or so years around the time that Christians remember Christ's birth.
