They should have put that money straight into the foodbank.

They don't care about the food bank, a clean and tidy Santa will give the image that they care. that is sufficient. Will however give them credit for the housing of the homeless project that was goin' fine until the…

Would it relieve the excessive subtlety if I posted another clip from Bad Santa?

I'm wondering if I was too subtle on this one. You do realise Russell, that all I did was photoshop John Banks' face onto the old Santa? I was kinda making a joke about what happens when the Auckland City Council spends money or something, I don't know. I just…

Fictitiously overheard at Saturdays Demo-Crazy march...

The new Santa has what I would describe as an eager mouth.

Gone is the come-hither finger and the sloped, winking eye.

I think whoever wrote that needs to go on Christmas leave __permanently_? 'Come-hither finger' – ewwww...

Now if we could get this three stories high, I'd die a happy man:
