Oh, the humanity!

[JoanneSD]

How did I ever survive believing in Santa Clause...and the fun it was...

[SandRat]

of course this crap comes from Berkeley.

[Brad’s Gramma]

BWAAAAAHHHHHH

I am still looking for the Scrappleface heading on this one.

[Steak]

This article is just a joke though, right? Right?

Dear god, they have lost their minds.....

[paudio]

Uncle Marx’s or Uncle Mao’s story, however, would be beneficial to child development. /s

[Grizzled Bear]

You forgot to type “THIS IS SATIRE” in eight foot tall letters.

Hillary Huma-Humpur?

Great job, funny article!

[Mr Ramsbotham]

And all this time I’ve been screwed, though I never realized it.

[ZinGirl]

there are SO many things wrong here...."ignorance of global warming"..."winter holiday morning"...

but THIS:

The report runs 610 pages and was funded by a Federal university grant

is the worst.

[Enchante]

LOL. You had me going for the first few sentences because it seemed so believable, so perfectly typical of Beserkley leftists.......

fwiw, I once bore tremendous resentment toward Santa Claus fairy tales, when I was around 8 years old (when I found out Santa Claus was “not real”). I was so furious with being deceived that I promptly told my younger sister (3 years younger, so probably 5 at the time). It broke her heart and I felt momentarily like I’d done a great service for “truth” until I saw the effect on her, then I felt ashamed for having spoiled it all for her........ true confession from 40 years ago, never before revealed. :^)

Does Berkeley, CA have any relevance to American life?

[upchuck]

Outstanding satire.

Of course my fav character is Ms. Hillary Huma-Humpur. LOL!!

BUMP!

[MHT]

Well, sounds like someone needs to see “Miracle on 34th Street”....

[purpleraine]

Berkeley detrimental to mental health.

[Buddy B]

University Research Study: Santa Claus story is detrimental to child development.

May as well come back to the thread and not FR beginning threads.

[sierrahome]

Yeah, that whole Santa thing really screwed up my whole life but it was those three wise men that REALLY scared me. Especially the tall one he looked so wise...and tall.

...I’ll never be the same. (sarc)

[Clintonfatigued]

Who authorized spending money on this kind of research, anyway?

[abigailsmybaby]

Good one! Were you just trying to beat the Berserkleys to the punch? LOL

Wouldn’t surprise me a bit to find out folks just like the ones in your “article” are wasting taxpayer money on just such a study.

[gracesdad]

Well that’s just a pile of stinking BS.
