| Shops destroy Santas giving "Hitler salute wrote: |
BERLIN (Reuters) - A German chain of shops has removed miniature wooden Santa Claus figures from its shelves and destroyed them after customers complained it looked like they were giving the stiff-armed Hitler salute that is outlawed.
Josef Lange, a spokesman for the Rossmann chain that has 1,200 outlets, told Reuters Friday the figures depicting Father Christmas with his right arm stiffly upright toward the sky and holding a sack in his left hand upset some customers.
"We were astonished by the reaction," Lange said. "It looks like he's just pointing up to the sky and we were surprised that anyone saw the so-called 'Hitler salute' in that. But we responded and had the entire inventory removed and destroyed."

My suspicions are confirmed. Santa is a fascist pawn of the faceless corporations aiming for totalitarian control of the world. Indoctrinate the young and the theft of our world governments is only easier. Stop Santa now! (Oh, and Satan is an anagram of Santa. Be afraid!) |

Yes. And welcome back, transientangent. Hasn't it been a while, or am I imagining things? _________________ "If we long to believe that the stars rise and set for us, that we are the reason there is a Universe, does science do us a disservice in deflating our conceits?"
