Bloody Santa

Murderous Santa Display Draws Stares By DAVID B. CARUSO, Associated Press

NEW YORK - It's usually easy to tell where a person stands in the culture wars, but whose side is someone on when his Christmas decor is a blood-spattered Santa Claus holding a severed head?

Joel Krupnik and Mildred Castellanos decked the front of their Manhattan mansion this year with a scene that includes a knife-wielding 5-foot-tall St. Nick and a tree full of decapitated Barbie dolls. Hidden partly behind a tree, the merry old elf grasps a disembodied doll's head with fake blood streaming from its eye sockets.

No one answered the family's door to explain on Tuesday, but Krupnik told the New York Post it was a statement about the commercialization and secularization of Christmas.

"Christmas has religious origins," he said. "It's in the Bible. Santa is not in the Bible. He's not a religious symbol."

More than a few people passing by the Krupnik and Castellanos brownstone were a little puzzled about the message behind the massacre. There were a few signs the macabre theme is a year-round thing — the facade of the building was covered with leering gargoyles. A statue of Death, hooded and grim-looking, stood outside.

Peter Nardoza, 81, of Manhattan, shook his head and chuckled.

"Sick, sick, sick," he said. "What kind of a world is this that we live in?"

Ronnie Santiago, a deliveryman on his route, speculated that something bad must have happened once to the homeowner at Christmas. A few spectators wondered whether the campy gore would bother children.

The family is far from the only one making an editorial comment this year on how Americans celebrate Christmas, although it may be the only one doing it by depicting Santa Claus as a killer.
You better keep a close eye on your Barbie dolls KCM.

I saw the interview with the two gals this morning on fox. Their answer to why would they do such a thing was "We thought it was funny." When asked about if they were trying to make a statement about the commercialization of Christmas their answer was "Yea, but we thought it was just funny."

They were also asked if they thought about how it might affect some kid seeing such a display and their answer was "If they don't want their kids to see it don't pass by." What a bunch of thoughtless people. Just because they don't believe in Christmas.

Once again the abuse of free speech.

I love how everyone is so hands off until the topic is something they have a personal connection to.
