DISNEY'S NEW SANTA: DRINKS, ROBS, SWEARS AND HAS SEX
This year, it looks as if you're going to have to be EXTRA careful about who you let slide down your chimney. Santa's got some issues this time around....
Top DISNEY executives continue to grow more and more disillusioned by subsidiary studio MIRAMAX, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned, this time over a controversial interpretation of a post-modern Santa Claus!
Just weeks after releasing Quentin Tarantino's shock-samuri-slasher KILL BILL, the DISNEY family will distribute a twisted update of Miracle On 34th Street, BAD SANTA, featuring Santa Claus as you've never seen him before!
....Santa Claus, played by Billy Bob Thornton, is shown, drinking, sexing and robbing his way through the holidays.
One shock scene from the movie, set for release Thanksgiving week:
Santa says to a barmaid: "I'm an eating, drinking, f**king Santa Claus!"
"Prove it!" answers the barmaid.
Cut to barmaid having sex with Santa in his car outside of the bar: "F**k me, Santa! F**k me, Santa!"
....The film, recently previewed by DISNEY executives, has caused complete outrage, studio sources tell DRUDGE.
"Nothing appears sacred, anymore, this is just not in the spirit of Walt Disney," a top source close to DISNEY Chief Executive Michael Eisner said this weekend from Los Angeles.
Of serious concern: Santa is repeatedly shown on film, in uniform, cursing in front of children.
One scene features a child at a shopping mall asking, "You are really Santa, right?"
Santa responds: "No, I'm an accountant. I wear this as a f**king fashion statement!"
Elsewhere, Santa Claus is shown picking up a young girl, again while in uniform, and proceeds to have sex with her in a dressing room of a plus-size clothing store at the mall!
In the end, this new Hollywood Santa Claus tries to redeem himself.... but whether or not DISNEY believes MIRAMAX can, is yet to be seen....
If Miramax chooses to market this to adults as a black comedy, that would be one thing. If they market it to children, as I suspect will likely be the case, that is completely unacceptable. Personally, I don't much care one way or the other, because neither Susan nor I have any intention of spending our hard-earned money to see this in a theater.
Before Conservatives run off at the mouth about the evils of Miramax, understand that I am not going to waste my time defending this trash. I think that if we are opposed to the concept behind this movie, we can best make a statement by keeping our money in our collective wallet. Can you say "direct to video"?
I know that Mark and Owen will chide me for not saying the same thing about CBS and "The Reagans". All I can say is that is that life is full of inconsistencies, no??
