A new film by Miramax, a subsidiary of Disney Inc., portrays Santa Claus as a depraved glutton, drinking and robbing his way through the holidays. "Bad Santa," scheduled to be released Nov. 26, is a post-modern revision of the family classic "Miracle on 34th Street."

Acting or just being himself?

More evidence of the current world war we are fighting against good and evil, not only abroad but in our own country as well. Christmas, a Federal holiday, the birth of Christ, for the religious, and non-religious as well, it is also a celebration of love, which is what the Santa Claus symbol means to a lot of people, the giving of gifts. The act of giving, not taking, which is a part of the Judeo-Christian philosophy. Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. Yet the attacks on Christianity, the philosophy of Chrstianity are rising, with this movie as just one more example. I would like to see how Muslims would react if Islam or their Prophet Muhammed was portrayed in such a way. But that`s something you`ll never see being that the enemies of Christianity see all Muslims as comrades. The mere mention of Christmas is all but banned in schools yet places like California mandate a three week course for 8th graders on Islam. Evil is getting a foothold in this country and fast, and until people wake up and cut out this cancer, it`s only going to get worse and grow, and right now I would say these mutt bastards are winning which scares the hell out of me. GW is evil. Not Saddam, not Osama, not fanatical Muslims. GW Bush...That`s all you ever see being protested. Something is truly wrong with that picture, but then again, evil always is.

Michael Eisner, Disney's chief executive, was shocked after viewing some scenes. "Nothing appears sacred anymore; this is just not in the spirit of Walt Disney," he said.

Gee, Mikey, I would think you'd be shocked at a lot of the movies that your studios make lately. Why just this one?

And "Gay Days" is in Walt's spirit Mr. Eisner?

Because this one is going to hit some major nerves? I would bet it will and disney is going to take a hit.

Under Eisner disney has taken a lot of hits. I would be surprised if he isn't a little worried about having a job.

Geez, then why didn't he stop it from being released? All polish, no silver.
