Okay, so I get the whole Santa tracker thing meteorologists do on Christmas Eve. It's cute, I guess. And it's a great way for parents to get their kids into bed. ("Hurry up and get to bed, Annie, or Santa's not going to stop.") Not like the kid is going to sleep. He or she is too excited because it was just announced that Santa is on his way. And what happens if the kid sees another TV report on another station that says something totally different? But I digress from my rant.
Tracking Santa is cool. The fact that NORAD tracks Santa starts to push it, when NORAD probably should be worrying about the Chinese or North Koreans. What's downright absurd is when I turn on the radio this morning and I hear about an upcoming report on the "news" station:
Coming up next, you know Santa flies all over the world to deliver presents to all the good boys and girls. But do you know how he gets his reindeer to fly so fast? Find out after these messages.
Are you serious?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
The economy's in shambles. The world's at war. The infrastructure of this country is falling apart. And somehow journalistic integrity dictates a story about the physics of the jolly fat man's mode of transportation.
Seriously!
Stop it!!!
