Santa Portrayed as Pedophile and Rapist?
The North Pole is a very different world in Jeff Goode’s imagination. Mrs. Claus is an alcoholic, Cupid is an openly gay reindeer, and Santa Claus is accused of raping Vixen.
His Christmas play, “The Eight: Reindeer Monologues,” is being performed in theatres across the country – from New York and Philadelphia to Atlanta and San Diego. Most reviewers call it good-natured holiday fun – but some critics don’t see the humor in a show that portrays Santa Claus as an alleged pedophile with a penchant for bestiality.
Here’s the plot: a sex scandal rocks the North Pole. Santa is arrested and charged with sexual harassment. The show has been described as the darker side of Christmas – and definitely not for boys and girls.
“There is a subculture of Americans who are driven by hate,” said Bill Donohue of the Catholic League. Donohue has not seen the production but said he’s noticed a trend in holiday productions that seem to re-invent or deconstruct the traditions of the season.
“We’ve tracked it since the early 90s and it seems to become a little more popular, which is not a very good sign for our culture,” he said.

As James Allen wrote in His book As A Man Thinketh... " You are basically what you think.." So, this makes me wonder about Jeff Goode’s ... thoughts and who he is ...if he is writing about rape and a pedophile ..????

The government has made provision for itself, and it's disgust for Christmas values. It has made it OK for the lunatics to openly come out and attack our Christian heritage, making us the grunt of their vile jokes. The thing they don't believe in, however, will soon come and square away the odds once and for all......because the 2000 year old Bible tells of this place in time....it's almost over. They have taken Christ out of Christmas, next....one world order....then the rest of the story.

This is just plain wrong.

Why attack Christians? Islam is executing homosexuals, and anyone who doesn't believe their way. I know it is because LIEberals are cowards and liers. LIEberals know that their perverted crime against nature way of life would get them executed under Islam.
anontroll oath keeper and tea party leader(manup fears us)
I make fun of all religions they are all the same. It just that christian gives us more lulz. Islam, jewish and buddhist do that turn the other check thing and it's just not as much fun then and last time i checked only a handful of Islams followers are out doing exicutions just like the small minority of christians out executing people not like them you know the crusades, arbotion clinic bombing, spanish inquastition and gays and jews.

Everybody in this world has an obligation to do the right thing. If anyone thinks this is a right thing you need help. Have people degenerated so much that some think this is ok? The perversion is sickening. What normal person would even consider doing something like this?

Sounds like liberals have horrible childhood Christmas memories. What you liberals miss out on and don't understand is the spirit of Christmas. Christmas for me has always been a wonderful time of year. Candlelight service, having real hope in your life (not the phony BS kind of hope in the White House now) Family time, great food, helping others less fortunate, watching the kid's eyes light up at the magic of the season (I'm the father of twins) I'm also a two time survivor of cancer. What got me through that hell? Faith in God, that there is a master plan, something greater than myself. Why are liberals so full of hate for something that is so positive, there is no bad about it. Maybe it's because liberals don't carry the spirit of Christmas inside them, just an empty, hopeless, hapless and hateful existence. Well, you can live that way, I choose not too. I just don't understand the hate that liberals exude!

Don't forget how medical science helped you beat cancer.

Would you all agree that this is a case of political incorrectness? Should the author rewrite the play be more PC so he doesnt OFFEND YOU?
Talk about the hypocrisy from the conservertards.

This is a continuation of the Progressive agenda through a
constant assault on Christianity , the family unit , and our
traditional values . Look up the term "Hegelian Dialectic" .

Not good for our culture, now that's an understatement. You can't make fun of the differences in other's. But if you are religious it's a o.k. By the way they can't destroy this fact Santa is a real man. And no matter what happens, he is a saint of God. Commercialized Santa or not, they are insulting us, because they have the freedom to.
WeWon
So let me get this straight...the phony religious right is upset about Santa even though he has high jacked the birth of Christ? OK and now you see why you are phony people....right Gov. Sanford?
abortionlover
Wewon has a very good point here. Why isnt there "OUTRAGE" by the bible thumpers because Santa is in the spotlight more than your baby jebus? Think about it, really.
Ken in Atlanta
Finger pointing liberals?
The height of hypocrocy.
Richard from NY
Santa Claus hasn't hijacked anything or anyone. Why don't you read up on Amerca's history and traditions that were brought here by the immigrants that wanted to come here legally and become part of the melting pot that made America the greatest country on the planet. Now you liberals take our rich heritage and *uck it up because you hate the country, religion, yourselves and God knows what else. If you idiots want to live in a closed society where you can all be slaves of the government, move to Cuba or Venezuela. In the meantime, STFU. You morons are in the minority and you're gonna lose because that's what losers do best! I'm a God loving, gun loving American, you are a godless commie turd.
anontroll oath keeper and tea party leader(manup fears us)
Damn i thought this whole time america stood for freedom. Thank you for showing me that america stands for gun lovers trying to scare people into submission by hiding behind a computer on the internet. The same constitution which lets you bear arms ( a right i do support before you accuse of not) let this play go on and lets american be christian, jewish, muslim or atheist or even say things other people don't like. It even gives you the right to come one here and talk about things in government you don't like. Maybe yoru american like me but unlike me you clearly don't like freedom.
Mark
So let me get this straight. You support the degredation and intollerance of taking the story of St. Nicolus and perverting it in the name of Art? Kind of like placing a cross in a jar of urin. You probebly loved that. Liberals are the very definition of hypocrocy. No one with half a brain thinks you have the slightest concern about the birth of Christ. Your a liar and a phony. Which is just to point out that you are a typical liberal progressive.

Santa is a criminal and who hates Christmas.....why does Santa break into your home?

I'm getting sick and tired of our Traditional Values being attacked by these GODLESS liberals. They attack MARRIAGE between one man and one woman, SANCTITY of LIFE, The Boy Scouts, Veterans' Memorials with Crosses. This is nothing but LIBERAL TYRANNY, an attack on our American Freedoms. These liberals are the most RADICAL I have ever seen. Their agenda undermines our nation's Traditional Values and Rich Heritage of religious freedoms. This is the MAIN reason these liberals will be voted out of office in 2010. They are danagerous and nothing but SOCIALIST that have to be voted out SOON!!!
abortionlover
just out of curiosity, why do you capitalize the T and V in traditional values? Is it some biblical language or something?
ce
abortionlover, your display name sickens me. TRADITIONAL VALUES is what has kept this nation great. Liberals are trying to destroy everything good and decent and replace it with EVIL. SOCIALISM isn't welcome in this country, but TRADITIONAL VALUES are!!!

@ce
LOL It's a PLAY! If you don't like it then don't go see it. It really is as simple as that.
Independent in AZ
@TerryM
I doubt anyone would want to see it, but go right ahead and write whatever you want. You have the Freedom of Speech too. Just be careful about portraying any violence towards any REAL person, especially the President. That could get you in trouble.
TerryM
Then I can write a play portraying Obama as the leader of NAMBLA where he likes little boys. Is that about right?
Independent in AZ
@Mark
I don't know what country you live in, but the United States Constitution has something called the First Amendment that establishes Freedom of Speech. The play takes place in a theater, in a private building where people have to pay to get in. Once again, if you don't want to see it then don't go see it.
Mark
So any subject matter is fine with you so long as it's done in a play? So if there was a play about liberal adult pedifiles who rape small boys and form a group called NAMBLA that would be O.K. with You too? Wait, that's not a play that's real life. With the destruction of our culture and history by the likes of liberal progressives like you it's hard to tell anymore what is supposed to be fantasy and what liberals are doing in real life. Take Barney Fife...sorry, I mean Barny Frank for example. His boy friend runs a gay brothel out of his home and Barney doesn't even know. If that was turned into a play you would probebly say it was too far fetched. But for a liberal in real life, its just another day in pervert land.

I think it' also time to hold an open mass in the town square at Christmas also. Tea Party mass - what can the ACLU do when there is no one in charge or everybody is!

And thus, you have "political correctness"! The arts have become a HAVEN for every social pervert known to mankind, and who constantly plead for sympathy and understanding! They are "anti-everything" that is sane, stable, enriching, and TRULY educational. What blows my mind about the "progressives" is that the more "progressive" we become, the more we socially ape the original caveman. In fact, his culture seems a tad more civilized! I guess now that the "arts" have bastardized every ethic applicable to adults, they have only a "child's world" left!
Benana
This is best example of Liberalism. Liberals think it is OK to use shock and awe as entertainment and that is their right to do so. Yes we have freedom of speech - but just as terrorist like to use our laws against us (just wait for the trials coming in NYC) the libs love doing the same thing.
Just continue to keep pushing the envelope and at some point the envelope tears and is useless. Then the libs will get a taste of their own medicine. It will happen as the pendulum swings back,
Prussian Patriot
This is America and everyone has the right to say or do what they wish. I personally think it is a disgrace to basterdize Santa and the whole tradition of Christmas. I would not go to see it and I think the premise for the show is silly but some folks like this stuff and think it's funny and that's okay because this is America and you have the freedom to do what you wish.
Prussian Patriot
PS. I bet Jeff Goode will get coal in his stocking and no presents because he has been very naughty!

This just shows us how far America has gone down. I can believe a disgusting person like this would present a play like that but to have so many people watch it is disgusting. And we wonder why we are having so much trouble with families, teens, society in general.
