It's the PC equivalent of going "full retard"

I like taller guys, but 7 feet is a bit much.

Where does the bearded fat man in the red suit with the reindeer and the pointy eared midgets fit in to all of this?

America can't have nice things because some retard mistook old news from Ireland as something that is happening in America?

Okay.

Next thing you know, they will be celebrating the resurrection of Jesus by eating chocolate and collecting eggs from a 6 foot tall bunny.

Traditions change. If you want Christmas, go to a church. I personally don't mind generic holiday.

But I want to hear the completely made up story of 2000 year old nomadic teenage Jewish virgins!

Since when is Cambridge in America?

Barbigazi: America can't have nice things because some retard mistook old news from Ireland as something that is happening in America?

Okay.

lol

that sounds much more accurate

That sounds like more fun than hearing the Nativity story again.

Why would a seven foot fairy be on stilts?

Conservative Christians are such a discriminated against minority.

EvilEgg: Traditions change. If you want Christmas, go to a church. I personally don't mind generic holiday.

I prefer it. Save your hypocrisy for inside your church.

will not click on an NRO link.

pertinent questions, though: is this in a public space? is it in an institution receiving public funds? is this the decision of the institution itself or is it being forced by a minority?

I was wrong, this is from Scotland not Ireland. But if you just go to the website for the event HERE (new window) you will see this right under the name of the thing.

Dundee's Christmas festivities begin this year with the Winter Light Night

This is one event that kicks off the Christmas celebration.

So, in summation:
-this is not happening in America
-this is in fact a "Christmas" celebration kick off event
-It is the event where the city lights its "Christmas" lights for the first time
-Nobody from the NRO, or the linked sources, or subby bothered to even look into it.

Facts often have a dampening effect on outrage.

mitchcumstein1: Why would a seven foot fairy be on stilts?

Because he or she wanted to look like a 10-foot-tall fairy?

I sent the author an email. I am SURE that a Christian such as he would want to make amends immediately, right? Apologize for spreading lies?

Given: Subby reads NRO.
Given: Subby is retarded.

Question: Does subby read NRO because he's retarded, or is subby retarded because he reads NRO?

bwahahahahahahahahahahaha....

The nativity story is a made up load of shiat, just like NRO.

This "holiday" celebration in Scotland is just one more example of the PC-ization of America.

As a soldier in the War Against Christmas, I take much pleasure in actively oppressing Christians by not celebrating their religious holiday in the privacy of my home, and by not openly proclaiming my support of it in public.

...and music by...

I say America needs to tear down all religious displays and replace them with hookers drawing winning lottery numbers while standing upon shrines of thousand dollar bills and passing out free booze to all, regardless of race, creed, or sexual orientation.

/Let's start worshipping all that really matters.

How utterly horrific! Taking a holiday that was invented by merchants specifically to stimulate the economy, and then hiring a bunch of performers and selling a bunch of stuff to stimulate the economy instead of paying one person to read a story.

I'm glad to see that NRO has its priorities right.

/Yes, I am being sarcastic.

This is America. Baseball is no longer the American pastime. Ignorant outrage is.

'tis the season to be outraged

Republicans are why we can't have nice things.

Lando Lincoln: Question: Does subby read NRO because he's retarded, or is subby retarded because he reads NRO?

Yes.

Oh, NRO, are you ever true?

Seriously, can someone find an NRO article that didn't have a single bit of lies and distortion in it? I'm genuinely curious.

Next time someone complains about attacking the messenger with an NRO link I'm linking to this thread.

I'm glad this went green.

So it will be enjoyable?

Oh yeah. His response was ad homs and links to other blogs complaining about it.

Just as expected.

I Said: It's the PC equivalent of going "full retard"

Pfft, if that's PC I'm all for it, this is the first interesting nativity I've ever heard of. I'm going.

Angry Drunk Bureaucrat: Where does the bearded fat man in the red suit with the reindeer and the pointy eared midgets fit in to all of this?

He died and was reborn for your sins...and to give you presents.

Barbigazi: America can't have nice things because some retard mistook old news from Ireland as something that is happening in America?

Okay.

You are a hopeless twat if you don't know that Ireland is one of the 57 states of these United States of America!

Last year I voted for McCain and this year I overheard someone wish someone else a happy Thanksgiving and BOY AM I ANGRY!!!!!1!!!

It's CHRISTmas, not "Thanksgiving" you atheists!!1!5

(am I doing it right?)

'...a seven foot fairy on stilts.'

Danny Ferry is only listed at 6'-10"...

Um...does any part of that not sound like more fun than another retelling of the nativity story?

Either the thread is lacking the usual poutrage, or my ignore list is sufficiently updated

Is it the 'whine about Christmans' season already?

Repeat. Newsflash, Smitty: people still don't care.

How can children possibly enjoy Christmas without being told lies? (No, there is no Santa in my house either. Shut up)

For the "War on Christmas" chest-beaters....

Diogenes: I like taller guys, but 7 feet is a bit much.

you know what they say, long spine, long ..... ...

I blame the people of Fark for this war on Christmas. You're hate of all things religion is finally seeping into the real world and now we're all becoming as boring as you.
