Santa in Trouble

So is Mr. Claus an alcoholic?

or a Nazi?

Or has he been reduced to just another marketing gimmick? I think I'll vote for the last option...

Thanks to the Coca-Cola company, he's been a marketing gimmick for decades... Poor guy.

I think it's pretty sad that they yanked that Santa here in Germany - looking at him, I don't see the nazi salute, but either pointing at the sky or perhaps reaching for a decoration or present on a tree. If he were giving the nazi salute, he'd not have his head so far back. I know that care should be taken to prevent nazi propaganda from being spread around, and I'm probably as rabidly opposed to neo-nazism as the next guy...but I think it's also possible that people are reacting a little too far sometimes.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
