	Santarchy 2000. Auckland, New Zealand
		Wearing a Santa suit is like cheap cotton Viagra — this isn’t some obscure fetish, but merely the ability to have strangers greet you with open arms, coupled with the invincibility of anonymity.
		For Santa to deliver presents to every worthy Christian household around the world in a single night, he must be traveling at an estimated speed of 650 miles per second, subjecting him to lethal centrifugal forces 17,500 times greater than the force of gravity.
		The Santa myth is a corporate monster encouraging parents to deliberately deceive their children while simultaneously robbing themselves of thanks for any presents that they want to give to them.

	Review: Santa Clause 2, The (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The Santa Clause 2 is a worthy successor to the original 1994 film — that is to say, anyone under age 10 will be enchanted; anyone over age 10 will have trouble stifling their boredom.
		Even the so-called "clever" moments of satire (such as the opening segment, in which Santa's workshop must avoid detection from a nearby plane) are too juvenile to be considered suitable for adults.
		As a sappy, family-oriented romantic comedy, The Santa Clause 2 isn't too bad, but, figuring that kids might not be too interested in Santa smooching, the filmmakers felt the need to introduce two frighteningly bad subplots.

		Santa maintains his naughty and nice list (now computerized, by the way), with the help of all the elves who keep track of each person -- you probably aren't even aware they are around you, but elves have a special way of keeping an eye on you.
