In Time for the Holidays: Naughty Santa!
Nov 6, 2007 7:45 am
Coming out of the first weekend of November, if the shopping mall can play Christmas Carols already, it’s not too soon to talk about Santa. And it’s never too soon to be politically correct, Here goes.
Santa Claus has been naughty, and needs to shape-up. Literally. Shopping malls in Great Britain — and remember; everything there, comes here: think worcester sauce and Posh Spice— shopping malls there are telling their Santas to be better role models, by losing weight. One mall says it’s ‘cuz kids idolize Santa. Well; kids would idolize a grey whale, if it brought them presents: it doesn’t mean they want to be one. What kid ever said “I want to be Santa”?
News flash: you can have skinny, or you can have Santa: but you can’t have a skinny Santa. Send your kids, to sit on the lap of an *un-jolly old elf, whom they may nor may not conclude is strung out on goof balls. And that’s your new and improved role model? Happy holidays!
Sure is. And it makes you wonder what the designers of this new policy must have been thinking as children. “Oh if I could only grow up to be as fat as jolly old Santa.”
I was thinking, he sure seems jolly. The other kids seem happy to see him. Now, what do I want for Christmas?
LOL, and the leftists think we’re anal...
What movie was that? I was watching TV with my 6 year old son on Saturday and that movie came on. He made me keep it on the channel because he saw Santa.
Then Santa was drinking bourbon and getting it on with the barmaid. I had to wrestle my son for the remote control to change the channel.
I actually like the Madonna “Santa Baby” Christmas song, it’s her only good song.
Bad Santa - Get the unrated version ;)
Yeah but my song went better with post 17 :)
There’s another version?
True!
But for every 2,000 santas losing that much fat, it will result in another 4 tons of carbon dioxide for every pound lost ending up in the atmosphere - exacerbating global warming.
Right now, every fat person represents sequestered carbon; they should sell their excess fat as carbon credits.
You know, some of you guys keep giving the progressives ideas, thinking that its funny. They have no sense of humor. If it hasn't happened already, look for a gay Santa mandatory indoctrination video at a public school near you soon.
People obsessed with “sending a message” sometimes don’t realize that the language they do it in can carry more than one meaning. Here we have an exhortation to the kiddies to live a healthier life - I’m fine with that - that carries along with it the implication that overweight people are to be marginalized, hidden, improved for their own good. For some that may even be the intended message as well, but I don’t think that’s what Christmas is all about.
Possess has no excess of esses, esses and asses; embarresses and harasses; less is never enough.
If you got the implied message, than you are very perceptive. They got the smokers that way, why not the obese?
Hey Santa! Didja call Jenny yet?
But I thought Santa only comes once a year, and that was down the chimney.
Kirstie Alley is still fat. Looked good in that Star Trek movie but over the years it has been a very unflattering spiral into obesity.
Everyday, I am reminded of the underground leader in “Demolition Man”, who wants a steak, a drink and a smoke, and for do-gooding busy bodies to get the Hell away from him.
