"No Virginia, they are just idiots"

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,318195,00.html

A GANG of drunk Santas wreaked havoc in a New Zealand cinema this weekend, pushing families out of the way, ripping down posters and shouting "ho, f*****g ho".

The crowd, thought to be students, ran into the Hoyts cinema in the CBD of the South Island city of Christchurch on Saturday afternoon, the Press newspaper reported.

Kate Gorman, 35, was waiting to see "Enchanted" with her two young children.

"At least 50 drunk idiots dressed up like Santa came in through the main door," she said. "They were kicking things over, ripping down posters and smashing everything in sight."

"They were all dressed as Santa and shouting 'ho f*****g ho'," she told the paper.

Her children, Gabriella, 6, and Jackson, 7, had been confused by the incident, she said.

"They asked me, 'are they Santa's helpers gone crazy?' and I said `no, they are just idiots'.

The cinema was evacuated for 30 minutes while the gang was dealt with. Police said there had been no arrests.



I thought I had seen and heard it all...

Isn't this what they call a "teachable moment"?

Merry Christmas, Hammer!

Just idiots...that sounds about right.

Just finished wrapping (but my wife's still doing a few more), so I'm making the rounds wishing my blogging friends - and friends of blogging friends - a Merry Christmas!

Best to you and yours this season!

10 or so years ago I'd have thought that was pants-pissing funny. I still chuckle at the idea except not where there are children present. Maybe raid a bar in a pack dressed like santa, but not a movie theater or a mall. It looks like one of them left an ax in the floor! or is that just my eyes screwing with me?

Hope you all have a great Christmas in the Hammer Household! No sickness or water damage!

Jesus, you'd think people that stupid would lack the organizational ability to pull that off.
