RUTHERFORD COUNTY, N.C.
A Rutherford County woman said her son left his visit to Santa Claus in tears because the man made fun of his weight.
Ashley Mayse said she wished she'd never brought Anthony, 9, to talk to the Santa employed by Forest City, Channel 9's partner, WLOS, reported.
Anthony posed for a picture with Santa and shared his Christmas list, but the man's final comments caused Anthony to later tear up the picture with the not-so-jolly character.
"And when it got done, he said, Lay off the hamburgers and french fries and that really just disrespected me, and I felt awful," Anthony said.

All the Hollywood stars were Chesterfield smokers it seems!
Son, Santa is trying to keep you from having a heart attack in your mid 30s.
Well he could have been more gracious about it, like oh wow, you’re as stout as I am, we really both ought to go on a diet, but somehow I still get down those chimneys.
The goodwill of Christmas is enough to overlook a little gluttony. Diets are so New Year’s.
Guess what, weight isn’t the only variable there. Spiritual factors figure in too (call them miracles of preservation if you wish).
He looks like my cousin who died at 32.
It’s not Santas job but...somebody needs to do something FCOL.
Kids lucky it wasnt Billy Bob Thornton as Santa

Santa talking about someone else being fat? Must be a liberal.
How is he feeling now that he got Santa fired?
Why am I picturing Billy Bob Thornton as the Santa in this story?
“50 years ago the headline would have read “Santa tries to save a 9 year olds life”. “
50 years ago a dumb thing like this wouldn’t have made the papers-——now it may be lawsuit time.

I found a Facebook pic of the entire family. Looks like they all skip a #1 Combo and be better off for doing so.
(Decided not to post the pic because the other kids dindonuffin.)
Being a lard ass means never having to say you are sorry.Some races seem fixated on being respected for all the wrong reasons.

I weep for the sheer weakness of this generation. Want to break up a “riot” of millenials? Fire a shotgun up in the air and watch them scatter. If that doesn’t work, shoot one. “Riot” over.
Poor baby’s going to drown his sorrows in gravy.
Disrespected is code for....mommy helped with my speech cuz I’m just a little dumb you know what.
“And when it got done”
Obviously a young man who is doing well in Ebonics classes.
I am having a lot up trouble working up sympathy for a nine-year old whose feeling are hurt by Santa. Will he be trick-or-treating when he’s 22? This kid has a serious arrested-development problem.
That is his mom talking. No nine year old boy speaks like that. Can you say “Monetary compensation for pain and suffering”? Sure you can.
