“You’d have to be a completely joyless, angry, miserable pile of poo to by offended by it.”

You mean a liberal?

As an aside, Rudolph was written by a Jewish guy working for (I think) Macy’s or some other store. It was version of his wish-fulfillment story (adapted to reindeer) of his childhood day dream of fitting in as a Jewish guy in a gentile world by becoming a star athlete (in the author’s case, baseball) and thereby getting the girl he had a crush on.

In other words, a pretty typical teenage angst story, which everyone has, and so everyone can relate to.

His brother (or some other relative) adapted it to music and put in on the screen.

Still my all-time favorite Christmas show.

That is an interesting bit of history! A daydream put down on paper became joy for millions.

Young Jewish guys from that era developed quite creative wish-fulfillment stories.

Rudolph was founded at Monkey Wards...if I recall...
