Santa Claus Gets Code of Conduct

LONDON (Reuters) - It's the Santa Clause and its aim is to root out substandard Santas.

Jolly, bearded Father Christmas has been ordered to clean up his act or be forced to hang up his trademark red suit.

"We are trying to eradicate shoddy Santas," James Lovell of the Ministry of Fun agency told Reuters the day after a secret summit of Santas drew up guidelines for girth, beard length, attire, footwear and general demeanor.

"Santa is a magical and cuddly man, not a fat, smelly slob," said Lovell, whose agency fills 500 Santa positions a year. "I even saw a Santa last year wearing trainers (sneakers)."

From this December Santas -- who only substitute for the real thing when he is busy elsewhere -- must be neatly presented, have a bushy white beard no more than six inches long and a girth of no greater than 48 inches and no less than 46 inches.

"He must not smell of drink or body odor and his 'Ho! Ho! Ho!' must resonate deeply," Lovell added.

You people have a Ministry of Fun?? :D
 
Damn, I spilled my soda on my keyboard when I got to 'Ministry of Fun'. :D

Guess I know what to ask Santa for. :cool:

Glad I'm not the only one who thought that was funny.

Whaaaa? Blasphemy! What kind of pansy ass Santas do they wanna have? Santa's beard should be at least six inches. Preferrably way longer.
 
I think that's a spoof news story myself. No way do we have a Ministry of Fun.

On re-reading, the Ministry of Fun is the name of the agency that supplies the Santas to stores. Damn. I'm so disillusioned now. *le sigh*


Love the addition to your sigline, btw. ;) :rose:

Proper British Santas, of course. No slovenly, bedraggled beards for them. :cool: :D

Thanks. Hadn't thought of that one before but it sure improves Cheney and Mrs C on CNN. ;)
 
We have a Ministry of Culture that deals with relaxing the Licensing laws so that people can drink themselves senseless 24/7.

That is Culture?
