Are you kidding me? I saw this and thought it was ajoke but I guess it isn’t. It just shows what kind of stupid world we live in or should I say the idiotic people are creating. Here are some excerpts from the news report:

Santa is being told to shift the pounds before Christmas – because the obese saint is failing to set a “good example” for children.

The traditional children’s hero, best known for feasting on mince pies left out on Christmas eve, has always sported a bulging midriff.

But shopping centre bosses are giving the well-wisher his marching orders – to the nearest gym – to tackle the increasing problem of obesity.

Bluewater shopping centre in Greenhithe, Kent, has even gone one step further and set-up a Santa boot camp.

Fiona Campbell-Reilly, spokeswoman at the shopping centre, said: “Santa has been around for years, but society has changed and our Santa needs to reflect this.

“Bluewater’s Santa Boot Camp is getting Santa in shape and setting a good example to children who idolise him.

OK,  these peopel are loseing their minds. So, this is what the western civilisation spends it’s time on? They have nothing better to do than destroy every little thing that is good and innocent in society.

They say that a slim Santa will set a good example. How about not focusing in on his weight and take an example from the character of the individual. Sanat represents goodness, kindness and charity. I guess the people don’t mind if their kids are assholes just as long as they aren’t fat! Idiots!
