Keep Santa Fat

Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Ugh, I read a little news blurb about that yesterday!

Some people have way too much time on their hands, & way too much desire to run others' lives. I'm referring to the food-and-health-police, NOT the petition people -- the petition people are cool!

Seeing a fat Santa isn't going to make people fat any more than seeing The Golden Compass is going to make them Atheists -- or seeing The Ten Commandments is going to make them Jewish, or seeing Hercules is going to make them ancient Greeks, or seeing Beowulf is going to make them follow the Old Norse religion. Or seeing Carrie is going to give them telekinetic powers.

Asses.

I saw a bumper sticker the other day that read "If going to church makes you a Christian, does going to a garage make you a car?"

I shall quote Mrs. Claus from the Rudolph claymation special:

"Nobody likes a skinny Santa." :D

Oh yeah, keep Santa fat, and the rest of us will have to absorb the cost of his girth in our own health insurance premiums.
:P
