Cool SANTA IS FAKE


Tell your kids about how greedy corperate slobs made up Santa Klause and sent the whole holiday down the toilet.

Proof of the scam

Yes can you? Read the whole thing not just the False


but the modern image of Santa didn't develop until well into the 19th century.

All this isn't to say that Coca-Cola didn't have anything to do with cementing that image of Santa Claus in the public consciousness. The Santa image may have been standardized before Coca-Cola adopted it for their advertisements, but Coca-Cola had a great deal to do with establishing Santa Claus as a ubiquitous Christmas figure in America at a time when the holiday was still making the transition from a religious observance to a largely secular and highly commercial celebration.

Corrected spelling just for you big guy!

You should've seen my rant on the salvation army/target. I personally thought it hilarious but as always some no humor tight ass ruined it for everyone. I'm trying to revive it without pissing off the mods.
