anti-commie political messages, of course . . .


This Christmas special is nothing more than a thinly-veiled geo-political propaganda. Santa is the embodiment of a Christian, Captialist America bringing toys to an impoverished Communist totalitarian state. The tale is a metaphor for America toppling the Eastern Bloc through our superior economic production, liberal-democratic culture and our commitment to tradiional American values. Santa is nothing more than a holly-jolly Ronald Reagan.

Then again, you're talking to a man who thinks that The Incredibles is Objectivist propaganda and that Elastagirl was intentionally drawn to resemble Ayn Rand. I know--I need help.

I'm pretty sure what Santa was doing was called charity.

All glory to the Hypnotoad
