Evil Johnny Angel, whom you may recognize by his goatee, thinks this is hillarious:

However, Chaotic Neutral Johnny Angel is merely saddened. Personally, it burns me that people still lie to their children about Santa Claus. It burns me even more that when confonted about it, parents fall back to the cowardly horseshit story about Santa being the spirit of Christmas love and brotherhood and Jesus-shaped sugar cookies. Of course, most adults who tell this lie won’t admit it’s a crock of shit no matter how many times you shock them in the nipples with a busted table lamp. They can’t, otherwise they would have to admit that they have been complicit in a conspiracy to play a prank on millions of children worldwide and later solace themselves that lies make childhood better.
That is to say, I’m completely against this Santa Claus bullshit. However, I don’t think this lady should have taken it upon herself to blow the whistle. That lie is between the parents and the kid. Also, between the parents and Satan, but that’s another matter.
If I ever have children, here’s what I’m going to tell them: There is no Santa. The people who tell you there’s a Santa are lying, but they think it’s a good lie. They think they’re lying because it will make you happy, but they’re really lying because it makes them happy. But if you talk about the truth, they’re going to assume there’s something wrong with you, claiming that if you weren’t psychologically damaged, you’d want to believe the lie. The best thing is to lie right back. Pretend you believe. Or don’t. Fuck 'em, they lied to you. If they’ve got a problem tell them to come talk to me.
