[Pretorian]

In the capital of Tajikistan , a group of 30 people, while screaming " You are Infidel! " and " Allah Akbar! " attacked Santa Claus and stabbed him to death. No traces of Rudolf have been found.

In all fairness, he was dressed as "Father Frost", the Russian equivalent of "Father Christmas". He's considered a different character from Santa.

Looks like Santa has been eating those shrooms again.


Maybe he's been drinking that reindeer piss once again..... lol

Funny thing is that I've been reading a lot lately about Santa and the different myths that countries have regarding him. Did you know that in the Netherlands, Santa comes around Christmas time every year from Spain by boat and his helpers are all black slaves?

BTW, I'm not making this up.

Also Santa may come from Christian tradtions, but he's popular in China ("The Old Man of Christmas") and Japan ("Santa Kurohsu").

One, apparently not very popular in muslim countries however.

Another reason for Christmas gun sales to be up over 100% from last year. Nothing says Merry Christmas like a smoking 45!

I thought Obama was Santa Claus with his stash of cash, or maybe helicopter Ben Bernanke.

Lots of progress in Central Asia after 1991.//sarc I will take godless communism "oppression" over theocracy any day. People were actually freer there in the 1980s than they are now, the hysterical western Cold War propaganda narrative notwithstanding.

Santa was seriously ill at my household, but my new wife has brought him back to life with a vengeance. Sigh. I play along cheerfully enough.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Keith_McClary', ''')SANTA' KILLS SIX RELATIVES, THEN SHOOTS HIMSELF DEAD...Police believe the killer allowed his relatives to finish opening their gifts before picking them off with a handgun.
The horror unfolded at a ground-floor flat in Grapevine, a Dallas suburb dubbed the “Texas capital of Christmas” for its seasonal cheer....
In Texastan, Santa takes a few with him.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Pretorian', 'W')ell if you want to dig that much, that holiday is not Christian but a Pagan one. It was very thoughtful of Jesus Christ to crawl out of Mary's private parts in the middle of the existing holiday, in order not to disrupt the routine for everybody.

This is a symptom of population pressures, aka "overpopulation". Look at this staggering number - 30 youngsters have nothing better to do than chasing a masquerade figure.

Anyway, Santa and Sinter are both ok, collapse is diverted, Mayan got it wrong. Another good year ahead.
