DISNEY'S NEW SANTA: DRINKS, ROBS, SWEARS AND HAS SEX

**Exclusive**

Top DISNEY executives continue to grow more and more disillusioned by subsidiary studio MIRAMAX, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned, this time over a controversial interpretation of a post-modern Santa Claus!

Just weeks after releasing Quentin Tarantino's shock-samuri-slasher KILL BILL, the DISNEY family will distribute a twisted update of Miracle On 34th Street, BAD SANTA, featuring Santa Claus as you've never seen him before!

MORE

Santa Claus, played by Billy Bob Thornton, is shown, drinking, sexing and robbing his way through the holidays.

One shock scene from the movie, set for release Thanksgiving week:

Santa says to a barmaid: "I'm an eating, drinking, f**king Santa Claus!"

"Prove it!" answers the barmaid.

Cut to barmaid having sex with Santa in his car outside of the bar: "F**k me, Santa! F**k me, Santa!"

MORE

The film, recently previewed by DISNEY executives, has caused complete outrage, studio sources tell DRUDGE.

"Nothing appears sacred, anymore, this is just not in the spirit of Walt Disney," a top source close to DISNEY Chief Executive Michael Eisner said this weekend from Los Angeles.

Of serious concern: Santa is repeatedly shown on film, in uniform, cursing in front of children.

One scene features a child at a shopping mall asking, "You are really Santa, right?"

Santa responds: "No, I'm an accountant. I wear this as a f**king fashion statement!"

Elsewhere, Santa Claus is shown picking up a young girl, again while in uniform, and proceeds to have sex with her in a dressing room of a plus-size clothing store at the mall!

In the end, this new Hollywood Santa Claus tries to redeem himself.... but whether or not DISNEY believes MIRAMAX can, is yet to be seen....

BOYCOTT DISNEY: a vortex of seductive evil™

Agree Petronski. What they are doing is pure evil.

[Paul Atreides]

Disney can go bankrupt for all I care. They are already morally bankrupt.

The article must not be worth reading since you didn't post it!

I for one don't click on links to read an article.

Welcome to our world

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I wonder if more people will be outraged over this then were outrage by ABC deciding that the work of a fiction writer was convincing enough to make a show suggesting that Jesus was married?

[per loin]

Our we supposed to believe that Disney did not know what Miramax was up to until the ads hit TV?

[anniegetyourgun]

Don't mind dalereed....he's a jerk to everyone....don't think you're special.

Welcome to FR, btw.

[jocon307]

You know, when a nice Jewish man like Mr. Eisner has to defend Santa Clause from his own company's subsidiary, well, what can I do but quote the indefatigable Pearl Gould "Enough is enough, and that's too much!"

This movie goes on the censored by me list, immediamente!

Thanks for the warning!

[BulletBobCo]

Walt has rolled over so much in his grave that the ground has been tilled.

[Print]

Thank you anniegetyourgun.

[Clemenza]

Actually, its looks like it will be really funny, really stupid or both.

Santa is a FICTIONAL character who is RIPE for satire.

[Gigantor]

I'm no fan of the Evil Disney - but, come on people - it's a COMEDY! Sheesh!

[RayChuang88]

Oh this ain't nothing. Just wait till work prints and trailers of Michael Moore's new "documentary" (a word I used extremely advisedly!) Fahrenheit 9/11 starts going around. (This movie is being financed by Miramax.)

Disney could end up suffering a HUGE consumer boycott and even the Federal Election Commission will investigate to see if Moore's new film can be considered Democratic National Committee propaganda, which means Moore might not be able to show the film until AFTER the 2004 Presidential elections.

[Print]

I don't think it's that innocent.

[MediaMole]

It's rated R. Anyone who takes their children to see this is officially a moron.

[southernnorthcarolina]

Maybe when he said Ho Ho Ho, he didn't mean what we thought.

[kcat]

This must be an R rated movie. Does anyone know the title?

[UncleDick]

Bad Santa. You can watch the trailer here.

[dangus]

Well, it's called BAD SANTA...
I get much more upset when they promote such behavior, frankly, or call those of us who disagree with it ignorant prudes. I'm just glad it's not called "Strong, self-aware Santa strong enough to stand up to cultural neanderthals."

[ALOHA RONNIE]

Praise GOD that...

LOVE is the Only Reality and that...

GOD is LOVE.

It isn't about what it means to adults, it's about what the commercials alone are doing to kids.

I am not a prude but it is not comedy. I was totally grossed out just seeing the G-rated preview on TV today.

[kcat]

Thanks

[KineticKitty]

I walked away from Disney after they made "Pearl Harbor" and basically catored to the PC police on how they should portray the Japanese (in otherwords like America made them no other choice but to attack America)

[KineticKitty]

made = gave (oops!)

[UncleDick]

It isn't about what it means to adults, it's about what the commercials alone are doing to kids.

I'm not quite sure what parents are doing letting kids watch TV anymore, especially during adult programs which would feature this commercial.

[cinFLA]

I am always amazed at how much my wife's daughter and son-in-law (almost 30) enjoy SouthPark and JackAss the movie.

I wouldn't pay to see that turd, but I did see it at the home of a friend: [spit]

Three words: Tora Tora Tora!

I guess the NFL is now ADULT entertainment.

[UncleDick]

I guess the NFL is now ADULT entertainment.

I can't imagine children being interested in something as dull as professional sports.

[Sir Valentino]

This is really *SICK* stuff! Is this what passes for *FAMILY* entertainment today? I'm sure as *HECK* not going to let *MY* kids see this *GARBAGE*!

[vikingchick]

I don't think they should say the 'f' word at children in movies. [see excerpt above about the accountant comment] Or say it in movies for children.

[perfect stranger]

The movie is called "Bad Santa".

[wardaddy]

neither do I.

[eldoradude]

"Santa" is an anagram for "Satan".

[UncleDick]

Rather than complain about it, I'd rather just watch this movie suffer a painful box office death just as the much ballyhooed Buffalo Soldiers did.

[Print]

Saw the clip - sick stuff. Not to mention kinky Billy Bob Thornton playing yet another "anything goes" character.

[truthandjustice1]

"You know, when a nice Jewish man like Mr. Eisner has to defend Santa Clause "

I'm sure he does it with a "Passion"

[Tuba-Dude]

Grow up and don't be offended. If you don't want to see it, don't go and don't take your kids to it. It's that simple. I myself am gonna kick back and catch this at the local theater with a big bucket of artery-cloggin' popcorn. /flamesuit on

BOYCOTT DISNEY

[Callahan]

A guy in a Santa suit saying dirty words. How creative. Ha ha. It was funny when John Belushi did it twenty-five years ago.

[chiller]

I hear what you're saying---but come on, people!--kids will watch this.

[mhking]

Just damn.

If you want on the new list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

[freekitty]

I see Disney is protesting after the movie is already out.
