Santa Was Naughty This Year
Write Santa in Canada and you may get a surprising response. Via Reuters:
Canada's post office and police are trying to track down a "rogue elf" who wrote obscene letters to children on behalf of Santa Claus, a newspaper reported on Friday.The Ottawa Citizen said at least 10 nasty letters had been delivered to little girls and boys in Ottawa who wrote to Santa this year care of the North Pole, which has a special H0H 0H0 Canadian postal code. Return letters from Santa are in fact written by an 11,000-strong army of Canada Post employees and volunteers.
"We firmly believe there is just one rogue elf out there," a Canada Post spokeswoman told the paper.
Canada Post's "Write To Santa" program has been shut down until that bad fucking Santa is caught.
That's kinda funny. Sucks for the kids and all, but still... Guess some of them are going to find out the truth about Santa Claus a little early.

Well, this proves us that it takes only one jerk to mess an army of good-doers. I find it quite depressing.

Are the post employees also volunteers and, frankly, I'd be up in arms if the US Post Office did this. It pisses me off that they sponsor the damned boring ass olympics as it is. Keep my postage stamp price down and just do what you're there to do. But, yeah, they should have found a better way to protest than sending nasty letters to innocent kids.
