Killjoy Christmas
Oh good God:
America’s top doc told the Herald yesterday that Santa Claus should slim down, in the latest blow struck in a global politically correct crusade against the jolly fat man.
“It is really important that the people who kids look up to as role models are in good shape, eating well and getting exercise. It is absolutely critical,” acting U.S. Surgeon General Rear Adm. Steven K. Galson said in an interview after a presentation on obesity at the Boston Children’s Museum.
Fuck you.
Touting NFL players who work with kids to promote healthy lifestyles, Galson added: “Santa is no different.”
No, of course not. No different at all. Sheesh.
Santa’s waistline is the most recent casualty in a war which has already taken away his pipe and his ability to scoop children up and sit them on his knee.
Newspapers abroad have been filled with headlines bemoaning the plight of Australian Santas ordered not to say “ho, ho, ho” for fear of offending women or scaring children, and British Santas sent to boot camp to lose weight.
Some American Santas are taught not to greet people with “Merry Christmas” in case it offends people of different faiths, according to Tim Connaghan, founder of the International University of Santa Claus.
Is there no end to these lugubrious assholes? You PC pissants make me want to puke. Every last one of you. Sorry about the ineloquently salty post here, in lieu of a grand and verbose fisking. But this sort of thing just sucks the oxygen right out of my lungs, leaving me damned near speechless. And truth to tell, the only thing idiotic bushwa like this really merits anymore is a solid, if brief and inarticulate, cussing.
(Via Crittenden – and don’t miss saltydog’s excellent comment, either)

Not until the revolution. When we can finally take these bozos out and shoot them to clean up the gene pool.
"We don't do Santa, since we discovered that he's Satan's tool on Earth to distract children from the real meaning of Christmas."
Having more than a passing familiarity with the story of St. Nicholas, but not feeling up to (a) talking sense to a moron or (b) insulting the sister of a dear friend, I promptly excused myself from the conversation.
My sister and brother-in-law are among that population of conservative church goers who believe that the universe is around 20,000 years old. They are so right wing that I look like Mussolini by comparison. And they did Santa for their children every year, continuing the tradition for the grandchildren. I guess that they're simply delusional, or supportive of Big Tobacco and Big Fat™.
You think that this is bad? Wait until a Democrat becomes president with the current crop of nanny statists in charge of the Senate and House.
