  • The way an SC celebrates Christmas

    This is an exact copy of an email we got a few years back from a dumbass fundamentalist idiot who stopped in at one of my clients stores. Only the names have been changed, barely, to protect the innocent. Of course it could all be a joke, but keep in mind, we can probably all relate to someone we've served in the past who really did believe this crap down to their very core. So you decide. Enjoy-


    First let me say I enjoy my stop and your location, as your employees were very helpful. However, I am very confused. Upon stopping at your location I noticed figures of Santa Claus at various locations through out your store.

    Does your company endorse racism by hanging pictures up of some white person that according to the story, breaks into people's houses while they sleep? Does W**M*** support the lying to children about the myth of a man that does not exist?

    The story of Christmas is 100% about the birth of Christ, though it is accepted he was not born on this day, it is a day none the less Christians for many years have celebrated his virgin birth.

    If W**M**** is endorsing this great lie about Santa Claus than I am offended at the highest level. How can your store hang pictures up of a man that screams out HO, HO, HO during his supposed flying through out the sky at night? Who exactly is he calling a HO?

    How many fights break out every year during this time as a result of this not so physically fit individual that feels the need make the children more materialistic rather than remember the real reason we celebrate the holiday?

    By W**M**** having pictures hanging up as well as various figures of this person through their locations they are endorsing slave labor, sweat shops, discrimination, no pay for work or under pay, imprisonment for no wrong doing and so on. This may sound stupid but if one thinks about this long enough they will see what I am saying is true.

    The average parent tells their kids this great lie for about 5-7 years of their child's life. The same thing happens on yet another Christian holiday, Easter. So that's two big lies that parents tell their kids all the while telling their children not to lie to them and they should always tell the truth. Is it any wonder that many children have trust issues from their parents after being lied to for so long about something that makes absolutely no sense at all?

    So again I ask the same question, Does W**M**** support or advocate these obviously satanic undertones of what is suppose to be a joyous celebration of the birth of Christ.

    People celebrate various things during this season for various reasons but I find it rather appalling that you would even allow any employee to have an image of a person that is responsible for so hate, masked as joy.

    Santa Claus is a Terrorist.

    P.S. Because your location does not have any of the other races, Chinese, Koran, African, Indian, or any other races beside this picture also posing as Santa. This too implies supporting Racism since not all races are represented while only one race is exalted higher than the rest in choosing which to represent this person.

    That's hysterical! However, I'm not sure if it is truly a joke, because of the use of the term Satan. Oh dear. *sigh*

      As mind-meltingly stupid as that letter is, I will totally grant the writer this point. I find it crushingly sad and ironic that The Grinch Who Stole Christmas has been read to children for years and years and years, and has been a Christmastime TV special for years and years and years, and has utterly failed in proliferating its core message--that Christmas doesn't come from a store.

      That's why in about 7 months from now, the suck is going to go through the roof for retail peons like myself and others. Actually, I'll go ahead and say 6 months for myself. We have the Lowest Prices of the Season sale in mid-October; from there it's general craziness until 6 pm Christmas Eve.

      Frankly, that letter read like a joke to me. At the very least, it's too retarded to take seriously.

        This song is dedicated to all you b*****ds out there:

        Why do you sit there so strange?
        Is it because you are beautiful?
        You must think you are deranged.
        Why do p'lice guys beat on peace guys?

        You must think Santa Claus wierd
        He has long hair and a beard
        Giving his presents for free
        Why do p'lice guys beat on peace guys?

        Let's get Santa Claus! ... 'Cause ...

        Santa Claus has a red suit == He's a Communist!
        And a beard and long hair == Must be a pacifist!
        What's in the pipe that he's smoking? == ?????!!

        Mister Claus sneaks in your house at night == He must be a dope fiend, to put you uptight!
        Why do p'lice guys beat on peace guys?

          ^^^Ah yes, this is one of the great things about having high-speed net, iTunes, and an iPod. I get to create my own Christmas music library! Including that one you just mentioned, because it sounds like a riot.

          "Santa Baby" will not be in it.

            IPF, the singing is after a long sermon on this board's theme: The Church of the Last Guy.

            Think of the Last Guy.
            He's so alone in the world that he doesn't have a street to lay in for a truck to run him over.

                I'm going to go out on a limb here and submit that this guy is being satirical and deliberately absurd.

                That being said, sending such a missive to a store is just plain sad. He is trying to put out what he thinks is funny social commentary, but has not a clue about the proper venues to do such a thing.

                Hell, I bet if he wrote it and sent it out to a few friends via email, it would have circled the globe in less than a week, and he would have the jollies he is so desperate to get.

                Sad.

                  that letter sounds veeeeeery similar to one of my highschool friends' senior project. she presented about how santa was telling children was a lie. she made many of the same points the letter does. it was all in satire, but the teachers did not like. they flunked her and told her to write a new presentation.

                    I'm with RK on the whole satire thing.

                    The bit about "who is he calling HO" really screams that it's not a serious letter.

                      Actually you'd be surprised. There was a huge hoo-ha in Sydney a few years back that Santas saying "ho ho ho" was offensive and they were training all the mall Santas to say "ha ha ha" instead.

                        I'd heard about the ho-ho-ho controversy (and then the counter-controversy and so on), but it really doesn't fit with the theme of the letter.

                        Oh, and I'll have to quote that line about "long hair and beard" meaning one is a pacifist. My husband hasn't cut (or trimmed *wince*) his hair in many many years, and wears a beard.

                          I've heard at least half of the rants in that letter as real arguments before, so I'm leaning towards it not being satire...but one can always hope!

                            If it's satire, it's pretty bad satire. If it's serious....man I'd hate to be the kids in that guy's house. Yeah, it shouldn't be about the presents but geeze.

                            Oh boy, we got Frankincense and Myrrh.....where's the gold dad? Where's the gold?

                              The best satire takes real complaints as the basis.
