We have apparently resolved every possible issue with every health crisis in the known galaxy because acting (and I mean that loosely) Surgeon General Rear Admiral Steven K. Galson has decided to attack... yes Santa Claus.
World wide, Santa can't smoke, in Australia Santa can't say Ho, Ho, Ho and now in the U.S. Santa has a weight limit. Seriously, this has been taken to a whole new level of stupid!
I quote, "It's really important that the people who kids look up to as role models are in good shape, eating well and getting exercise. Santa is no different."
Mr. Galson clearly puts more value in the way a person looks than he does the way a person acts. Santa embodies what every person should be. The spirit of Santa gives to others and spreads cheer and a feeling of togetherness across the world. I personally think this personality trait is much more important than the fact that the average Santa weighs in at 250 lbs.
If we took the Surgeon General's advice, our children should be idolizing all of the perfectly built athletes that are filling their bodies with steroids or the "Hollywood" crowd that starve themselves to get that perfect look; just because they look healthy! It's absurd! There are the people our children shouldn't be looking up to.
If Santa were a real human being he would have a legitimate case against the government for having his human rights violated. He's being forced not to smoke by the government, he has no freedom of speech and now he is in danger of being banned from society because he is fat. All of these are restrictions of his fundamental right as a human being.
The fact that I have two blog posts about Santa is stupid in its own right but it's a great example of what is wrong with our government. Why is this guy even giving thought to Santa when the HIV crisis is at a all time high. You'd think he would be spending his time making sure all of the drugs on the market are safe. Oh yah, that's not really happening is it?

I heard this bit of idiocy today and I couldn't agree with you more. Santa is actually a "fictional character", so I'm surprised that they haven't banned him altogether just to protect the future mental health of our children. Give me a break. There is so little in our country right now to smile about, just being chubby and saying ho ho ho should not be a crime.
What's wrong with the idiots that run this country any way? Dangerous drugs, both at the pharmacy and on the street, no jobs, people sick without health care, people living under bridges with no food or shelter, greed, crime, crime and more crime!
We better mind our p's and q's or we will soon be a third world country thanks to our government's inability to serve and protect our nation. Let's waste a little more time on legislating Santa!
