"Steve is equipped with Electronic Fool Injection" (itsalwayssteve)

And the boss is singing along with “Christmas Shoes.”

It’s such a maudlin, contrived, steaming pile of dreck that I can’t stand it. Patton Oswalt’s take on it is so much better than I could ever write.

I find most of them a little weird. How about one of most sung songs each christmas, Ruddolph The Red Nosed Reindeer.

#Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games#

So lets look at this. All the reindeers ‘used to laugh and call him names’, that reads like bullying to me, just because he had a bright red nose.

#Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say,
Rudolph with your nose so bright,
Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight#

Now here it’s hard to tell whether Santa is being nice or taking the piss out of Rudolph.

#Then how all the reindeer loved him,
As they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the red-nose Reindeer
You’ll go down in history#

So because the big man likes him, suddenly ‘all the reindeer loved him’. These reindeer are a bunch of fical shits.

Is this what we want children to grow up with?

‘Jonny, when you grow up you must be like everyone else because if your different, nobody will like you unless you have an ability to benefit a big boss in some way and then people will kiss your arse to be around you so they may get seen by the big boss, but even then, they won’t be your friends so you’ll still be lonely, but lonely with people around you’.
