This question might sound a little bit odd, but today nobody is above suspicion. If you are famous, you are likely to be a target. Remember, it is the nail that sticks out that gets hammered down.
If you are in the limelight, you are a potential recipient, and your head might suddenly roll Just think of Chris Cuomo… He got the ax because he was trying to help his brother… Wouldn’t you do the same thing for somebody you love? Of course, this quick resolution is politically correct but unfortunately very distressing.

We have been idolizing Mr. Santa Claus for a long time, but are this man’s deeds politically correct? I don’t think so. I believe that over the years (with the cover support of the Big Toy cartel) he got away with murder.
For instance, I really wonder what really takes place in his famous workshop… We know that he has been employing a bunch of elves for years, but isn’t this unlawful child labor? They work night and day without a break to supply the demand, but are they treated fairly? do they get overtime and health insurance? I believe that some labor inspectors ought to mousey on down to the NorthPole and have a look-see.
Then, he has been using reindeers for years to deliver his goods, but is he treating his animals humanely? Going around the world all night without food and under any weather conditions? I would not do this to my pet. As an animal lover, I would sleep better if the SPCA would investigate this.
And during his rounds, is he carrying plastic bags to pick up after his animals? Because at some time during their long trip, the reindeers must relieve themselves… In his haste to please his customers, Mr. Claus does not seem to care much about the environment.
I also understand that there have been sexual harassment allegations against him. He is not jolly all the time without some good reasons. Remember, Santa goes down chimneys and enters homes without any authorization. And what does he do down there? The children are asleep, but there could be some sleepless women having a cup of tea… he probably seats down on the sofa and chats them up. And one thing leads to another…
And don’t you think that he is a bit too cheerful? On Christmas Eve it is pretty cold, and I am quite sure that he must have a few big gulps of Cognac during his journey to keep him warm.
Do you ever wonder why on Christmas night you sometimes cannot reach some friends or family? When you drive under the influence, you get a little careless and I am covinced that Santa banged up a few communication satellites during his hasty trip around the world.
Being famous is not what it used to be. As you can see, it has lost some luster and anybody can become a target.
