SANTA TELLS KID TO "LAY OFF THE BURGERS AND FRENCH FRIES"

A Forest City, North Carolina, family wants a local Santa Claus fired after they say Santa told their 9-year-old son to “lay off the hamburgers and French fries.” Anthony Mayse was asking Santa for an iPod Touch and a drone for Christmas last Saturday when he was body shamed. “I went out and started crying because I just felt so bad,” Anthony said, adding that he felt disrespected and awful after his visit with Santa, because he was 9 years old. Anthony’s mother said she was “mind-blown” and wished they never took him to visit Santa. The Santa apologized to the family. It is not clear if any disciplinary action was taken.
* Disciplined? He should be hailed a hero!
* Are Santas getting paid more now that they have to have more obese kids squashing their laps?

* “Bad Santa 3: This Time It’s Personal.”
* “Listen, kid, I don’t know what the hell you’re doing up here. You’re 9 years old. You’re about five years away from starting to think about girls, and now’s the time to get that body in shape, you understand me? You understand what I’m saying? Ho ho ho.”
* “Now it’s time for you to get off me. I can’t feel my legs any more.”
* I’m betting that Santa didn’t give him a candy cane, either.
* Sounds like Billy Bob Thorton is having trouble letting go of the role.
* Of course the kid has been trained to go instantly into victim mode.
* Most kids I knew back in the day would have told Santa to shove it.
* They’d say, “You’re the fat guy in the dumb red suit, loser.”
