New Zealand has a Santa problem of epic proportions. Protest my ass, this was an excuse for looters, public drunkeness, and reckless endangerment by 40 rogue Santas.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to recall this same thing happening in the same place last year. Is it becoming an annual event, now?
I am reminded of the Futurama Xmas episodes where Santa was a homicidal robot and if you were caught out on Xmas Eve, you could get nastily wasted for being naughty.
These seem to be in the same, low-life class as those assholes who disrupt soccer matches.

Nope, you aren't wrong. They call it Santarchy.
I'm sure that sounds infinely more witty after two dozen pints of beer. |

These guys are an example of a certain strain of social abberation/pathology I've made aquaintance with during my life (albeit usually somewhat more upscale) whom although I'd have to say are definitely "scumbags"... that (with my head down,) I laugh my ass off in taking a certain guilty pleasure in being entained by... in that the "Respectable Person" might surely say, "Good Lord, Man... have you no shame???!!!" when confronted by their screwball antics... as I know full well the truthful answer is- "No, in fact... when it comes to making a buck... I don't!!!" |
