Matt Drudge: hysterical demagogue

This is currently screaming, front page news on the Drudge Report:

Drudge goes on and on in this vein but his outrage and panic is untainted by one very important fact:

THE MOVIE IS NOT ABOUT SANTA CLAUS!

Billy Bob plays a conman who poses as a department store Santa. It is not, as Drudge alleges, an “interpretation of a post-modern Santa.” Santa Claus is not in this movie. Santa Claus does not exist in this movie’s universe… Drudge does not point this out anywhere in his alarmist “report.” He refers only to “Santa” throughout. Matt Drudge is a fucking lying asshole.

For those who don’t know, Bad Santa is a forthcoming dark comedy from director, Terry Zwigoff (Crumb, Ghost World). Zwigoff is a genius. Drudge is a tool.

Also, Kill Bill kicked ass. Fuck you Drudge.

Get a grip. First of all, Santa doesn’t exist. Second, if Billy Bob Thornton does in fact play a department store Santa, it has something in common with Miracle on 34th Street. And last, we know that Drudge is a big time conservative, so rather than hiding behind some Santa charade, why don’t you just say that he’s full of shit and be done with it?

The lengths that you guys go to to cover up what you really mean astonish me. Geez. :rolleyes:

The piece is written so as to give the impression that Thornton is actually playing the character of “Santa Claus” and that Miramax is somehow corrupting that mythology through some sort of post-modern. amoral revisionism. The piece is deliberately misleading. It’s a slanderous attack on Miramax. It accuses them of something that is untrue.

And the thing is he isn’t even pulling off that fadora he lives to wear. What a tool.

I’ve seen santa drink, sex, and rob his way through the holidays. Besides in real life, there was also Trading Places 20 years ago.

I worked as a santa one christmas. After a day spent at a Santa-skate, a vist to an old folks home and a group home for developmentally delayed adults my “helpers” and I desperatly needed a drink. One of my elves had driven, sadly the older my elves got the longer their skirts were, so I didnt have a change of clothes so we went to the tavern in costume as we walked in there were two kids waitning for a bus on of them said “Santas gonna get drunk” and were the ever right. If you go into a bar dressed like a santa in December your drinks are free. So I guess I was an evil Santa too.

A friend of mine in high school swore she saw a horror movie featuring a killer Santa Claus.

Silent Night, Deadly Night.

Yep, that was probably it.

I wonder if maybe Drudge would make of Weird Al’s “The Night Santa Went Crazy”

I must suggest David Sedaris’ Holidays on Ice to this thread. Just for his experiences as an elf.

Yeah , but did you the report Santa did on Drudge ???

Sorry for being sarcastic. I suppose I should congratulate you for saving the world by exposing Drudge’s evil Santa Agenda.

So … uh … thanks.

It’s worth mentioning that when Silent Night, Deadly Night was released, it caused a tremendous controversy because it was “desecrating” a childhood icon. I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if Drudge remembers that controversy, and is hoping that starting a new one will get more people to pay attention to him.

Is that sarcasm? I’m still looking for the sentence. :wink:

Did what on Drudge? The money shot? Maybe that’s what Matt keeps under that hat…

Now THAT would be news.

" Santa and Drudge caught in gay love nest !" The arresting officer said Drudge looked like a glazed donut.

Pope: Catholic
Bear shit: in woods
Sky: blue

“You’ll shoot your eye out, kid! HO…[boot in face]…HO…HO.”

I doubt very much that Matt Drudge really exists. Everybody knows parents just made him up.

I’m as Rightwing as anyone on the SDMB & I can’t stand Drudge.

“Ho ho ho.”

Santa’s a pimp.
