Best "I Hate the Holidays" Movie Ever

This was in Bizarre News. Right up my alley!

Quote :

OBERLIN, Ohio - A public library in Oberlin, Ohio, has a
holiday display that features a legless Santa Claus being
pushed down the stairs by a sadistic Christmas tree.
Conceptual artist Keith McGuckin, who created the Oberlin
Public Library display, created a narrative to accompany
the image that explains Santa's legs were destroyed by an
alcohol-fueled incident involving power lines, and the tree
pushing St. Nick's wheelchair down a flight of stairs plans
to visit a strip club with the money he took from Santa's
Salvation Army kettle, The (Elyria, Ohio) Chronicle-
Telegram reported. The artist said authorities would rule
the jolly elf's death an accident. McGuckin, who raised
controversy in previous years with Christmas displays
featuring Nazi gingerbread men and drug-smuggling elves,
said he does not expect his latest work of art to prove
any less provocative. "I think a lot of people will be
upset about a legless Santa," he said. Library director
Darren McDonough said the display will remain in place for
the holiday season. "Remember the old library saying --
'If we don't have something to offend you, we're not doing
our job,'" McDonough said.

According to some articles I found, there's video of it on Youtube which is blocked here at work. I'll check when I get home.

Thanks

Aww, that's so cute.

Yeah, who knew gingerbread men were cool.

They're even better in my stomach.

This probably makes me sound like a total sicko, but the other day when I heard about the psycho in California who shot up his ex-wife's family Xmas party while dressed as Santa the first thing I thought of was "Wow, sounds like Silent Night Deadly Night Part 6"

Sounds like a good idea, Freddy

I had exactly the same thought, probably because I just finished the first SNDN as well as the Black Christmas remake.
