Hmmm, what could we replace the left with?

No Joke: Slate Magazine Calls For An End To White Santa Claus Images, Suggests Using Penguin Instead
According to Slate Magazine, depicting Santa Claus as a white man is racist or discriminatory or something. Their suggestion? Depict him as a penguin instead.The world is losing its mind right before our eyes.

How silly. Plus if Slate wants Santa to be a penguin, they’ll have to move his workshop a very long way South. There are no penguins anywhere near the North Pole.

Funny, the pop-up Zappos ad when I visit iowntheworld has a penguin Santa already!
Won’t be shopping there!

I recommend a Jewish Allah with a guy named Jesus for Mo.
Let me know how your “feedback” goes, Slate.
OR…would that be SLAYED?

Well, imagine the problem he poses for them:
He’s white.
He’s male.
He’s obese.
He’s married. To a woman.
He’s jolly.
He’s selfless.
He wears fur.
He’s colorblind.
He’s religious. Worse, Christian.
He’s “green”…reindeers run on magic feed corn.
He employs the handicapped (the height disadvantaged).
Nope, he doesn’t fit any part of the agenda. He’s a danger to International Socialism.
If he would just get hooked on Oxycontin after slipping off a roof or something and screwing up his back they could properly smear him like they did to Rush.
But he’s gotta go.

It has to have some sort of tan bodily covering. Squinty eyes like the old Mr. Magoo character, but dressed in a Mao suit. Claw hands to attack and steal from the masses. And finally, it must carry an expensive electronic device to monitor the good, bad, and the Wasserman/Schultz-Moose Party (formerly the Ugly). The new Santa doesn’t carry a bag, but a drone.

a white santa clause is the perfect representation of the idea of santa claus.
it’s the white man that has been playing santa claus to the rest of the world for over the last 200 years.
with out the white man in America, where would all the welfare money come from,the black or Hispanic community?
who would have defeated hitler?

I would prefer they use Mr. Freeze, not The Penguin…

The Left’s version of Santa Claus would steal from you instead of giving you gifts.

Consider the source.
I wouldn’t wipe my arse with that rag. Ptui!
If they want something more “representative” of the times, they should replace Santa Claus with Uncle Sugar/Uncle Sam.
IOW, the givers of all things “free”…the taxpayers.

…there’s a Dodge Dart ad at the bottom of the page. That’s new in that space.

Well personally, I think it is a great idea but you would expect that from daPenguin

I think it’s great. If Santa Penguin gets stuck in my chimney, then my Christmas dinner can already be smoked and cooked when I get up.
I heard penguins taste like chicken. Everything tastes like chicken.

Oh, the space at the very bottom?
That ad extends about 1/8th of an inch over the margin where there is nothing but white space and dead air.
I wouldn’t call that a pop-up.
A pop-up is a page that appears over the site and you have to click it out.
People on different browsers see different things so I got a little scared.

Uncle Al, there are no penguins left in the north pole because all the ice is melting and they are drowning by the millions! The few that find a rare piece of ice have to share them with polar bears that are starving because Sarah Palin let Russians drill for oil near her house.

Penguins live at the South Pole and everyone knows that Santa lives at the North Pole so won’t the Polar bears eat him if he’s a penguin when he gets back home?

@BigFurHat,
I am using IE 9 and that new bar is really screwing with my iowntheworld experience.
It generall ends up in the middle of my screen.
It may start at the botom but it is really annoying!
In addition, I sometimes get an actual pop-up ad or two that auto-start some goofy sequencing BS.
The Zappos ad was a side ad. I sometimes click those since you guys get paid when we do.

So the fact that St. Nicholas was a real person is ignored? He punched a guy out at the Council of Nicea too.

I just tried reading that POS at Slate
What a pantload of pompous progressive grievance mongering
To quote a email I got on this piece:
Harris thinks black children would identify more with a cartoon animal than with a kindly old white man who loves children. In other words, even when a white man is dispensing gifts, he is the cause of resentment, which means he can do nothing right and must be dispossessed of his culture, even seemingly innocent and benign traditions.
