Defending Santa.com is once again decrying a foul portrayal of Santa Claus. This time the offending parties belong to a rowdy San Francisco crowd fueled by alcohol — and each of the participants will be dressed as Santa Claus.
“It is a sad commentary on society when a sacred figure can be maligned so completely,” said Jeff Westover, owner of Merry Network, publisher of DefendingSanta.com. “It is fine for folks to celebrate things in their own way. But it is not ok to do so dressed as a figure who is beloved and trusted by children and who is holy to others.”
Look for coverage of Santarchy 2009 to hit the media this weekend.
