A Belly Like a Bowl Full of Washboards Just Doesn't Have the Same Ring to It

According to the new Surgeon General, Santa sets a bad example to children:

America's top doc told the Herald yesterday that Santa Claus should slim down, in the latest blow struck in a global politically correct crusade against the jolly fat man.

"It is really important that the people who kids look up to as role models are in good shape, eating well and getting exercise. It is absolutely critical," acting U.S. Surgeon General Rear Adm. Steven K. Galson said in an interview after a presentation on obesity at the Boston Children’s Museum.

Touting NFL players who work with kids to promote healthy lifestyles, Galson added: "Santa is no different."

All of this for the children of course... via The Agitator.  I'm going to go and cry now.

Santa, fat, happy and charitable.
NFL players, fit and: getting arrested for dog fighting, getting suspended for drugs, getting accused of rape and murder, and getting shot in the middle of the night.

I'd rather my kid was fat, happy and charitable.

Well if that's not MRQ-worthy, I don't know what is...

Thanks Keith, but I actually think I'm unofficially banned from MRQ for various transgressions. How's it going in Hotlanta?

Geez. I don't even know what to say to this.

Never, as a child, did I look at Santa and go..."Gee, he's fat so it must be okay!" Santa was more of a...spirit, if you will...than an icon of my childhood.
