I'm all for people expressing who they are and want to be, and think it will be a better world overall if they have that freedom to do so. This kinda shit though, really is fucking stupid. I get that he's a fictional character and all, but St. Nicholas was a real person and was a male. What's the big fucking deal with that to these supposed 25% of people? It's like saying, "I really think John F. Kennedy should be trans or female." It doesn't work that way people.

The question was “if you were to modernize Santa, what would you change?” To illustrate the seriousness of both the question and answers, skinny jeans and hoverboards were among the other top answers.

Yeah...maybe the real problem here is we're asking the general public questions like "How would you modernize Santa?"

Yeah...maybe the real problem here is ...... asking the general public questions ....

Yeah...maybe the real problem here is ...... the general public

There we go.

Do you actually, honestly believe that 17% of the population thinks Santa should only be depicted using a hoverboard? Or that 1 in 5 Americans think images of Santa need to show him in skinny jeans? If you don’t believe both of those, then you clearly recognize what an exercise in absurdity this actually is. If you DO believe them, then boy do I have a news channel and some “buy gold” commercials for you.

Yeah it was a pretty shitty online survey I guess. That I read about on Twitter.

This is why I studiously avoid twitter.

He’s distorting the answers to try and avoid you questioning his belief system. Don’t bow down like a Prancer.

25% isn't enough people to care about anything, unless you're talking about how many people actually vote in an election.

Jesus Christ, there is so much editorializing in every sentence of this article that’s utterly unreadable. Trump is right about the fucking media.

Good job you fucking Muppet for raising the ratings for the show and telling those advertisers that you support Tucker Carlson.

He's not contributing to the ratings if he doesn't have a Nielsen box hooked up to his TV.

OK, indirectly raising the ratings because he's telling everyone he's watching and you know how people like to be mad so they'll watch as well.

Pretty sure it's an opinion piece written by the LAT art critic.
