Santa Claus Ejected From Disney World
J.D. Worley looks so much like Santa Claus that kids followed him around during a recent trip to Disney World. Admittedly, he didn't deny being St. Nick:
Christmas is supposed to be about kids, and how do you tell a kid that comes up to you and grabs your leg and calls you "Santa," how do I say, "Get away from me kid, I'm not Santa?"
Disney World administrators didn't appreciate it:
They told me I either needed to alter my appearance or I needed to leave the park because I was impersonating Santa Claus. They told us that Santa was considered a Disney character.
But Worley remains defiant:
I'm not going to let it ruin my Christmas. I'm not going to let it stop me from going to Disney, if they let me in. I still look like Santa, and I'm not going to shave my beard off.
It looks like certain amusement park administrators might find their stockings full of coal this Christmas.
On a tip from Wiggins.

How about a boycott of Disney World? Or at least an e-mail campaign castigating them for STUPIDITY!!!!!
And wher is the ACLU when you need them?

i have an idea - okay, group huddle:
THERE IS NO SANTA! WHY CONTINUE LYING TO YOUR KIDS - TELL THEM! OR BETTER YET - NEVER ALLOW THEM TO EVEN THINK THERE IS SUCH A PERSON.
our 15 1/2 year old son is still pist that we allowed him to believe until the ripe old age of six - he has extreme disdain for liars...how can we expect our kids to be honest with us when we feed them this crappe?

My parents never mentioned father christmas to me when I was a kid. I'm never going to mention him to my kids, except to explain the story of St Nicholas as an example of how we should be good to people.
