Is Santa a good role model?

[Viney]

In todays politicaly correct world, is he?

He's obese
He apprently 'makes' all the toys
He doesnt pay tax
Enters countries without going through Passport control or customs
He breaks and enters into peoples houses
He steals mince pies and carrots
Flys under the influence of alcohol
Speeds
Go's into childrens bedrooms whilst they sleep
and spends his life shacked up with a bunch of vertialy challenged people.

And we want our children to look up to him. This is where it all starts!

I thought that was the Christian spin on an existing pagan winter solstice festival?

I have no bloody idea lol.....that was what i was taught at school many many moons ago I only remember it as most in the class still believed in santa and were devastated. Infact it caused uproar.

I do know that the image of Santa was always dressed in green traditionally.

It was Coca Cola who changed his image to red to fit in with their advertising campaign.

Thats commercialism for you!

Its all a mish mash of things from through-out the years, so now we are left with the 'red' coated Coke drinking freak we have now.

Plus he is like a wandering lover who only pops round to empty his sac once a year!

My sentiments exactly as I've mentioned in other threads. He's a pervert of the highest order!

My lecturer at Highbury College was Santa. I don't mean in a pervy way, I mean in the rotund, jolly, white-bearded way. He ALWAYS dressed as Santa for the Futcher School (school for disabled kids) down our way, and he was an absolute gem!! I Loved Eddie Burnett!!
