Bad Santa – U.K. edition
Posted on December 6, 2006 5:26 PM
Believe it or not, store Santas in the United Kingdom are just as lewd and crude to teenage girls as Santas in the states. I did a double take when I saw this account from stodgy Brit shopping institution Harrods, preferred by royalty and other shoppers...
A Harrods Santa has been sacked after complaints that he racially abused an Asian family who came to visit his grotto.Now I have to wonder about this. I have to assume the Santa in Iowa made, allegedly, a similar comment that caused a mother to complain resulting in that Santa's firing. So maybe the application for Santas worldwide needs to include the following question -
Santa allegedly asked the family: 'What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be shopping in Tesco?'
When the family – thought to be British – started to leave, he is said to have lewdly asked whether their teenage daughter wanted to stay and sit on his knee.
"Can you resist the incredible temptation to ask a teenage girl in lewd and lascivious terms to sit on your knee, or are you still mentally fourteen years old and incapable of keeping yourself under control?"
Yes – I can keep myself from being a stupid prat around teenage girls.
No – You go around once in this world, and who am I to resist the call of the wild? (Someone else's problem, we think, because you sure as hell aren't working here. Please ask security to escort you out.)
