It's not about parents LYING to their kids, it's about a child's fantasy being taken away. Yeah, sure, the world is a rough place, but is it better to sit little Jonny down and tell him, "Alright, you're 6 now. Time to learn about the world. Bad things happen to good people for no reason whatsoever. No one is going to watch your back for you. Many people are going to dislike you just because they do. And finally, your life will reduced to routine and you struggling to make ends meet. Now go and get on the bus, you'll be late for school."
Kids need a little fantasy, something magical that they can believe in. There's nothing wrong in providing that to them through a magical man who gives you presents if you were good (and even if you're not) And for those of you who think the parents were wrong about lying to the kids and how you were sooo cool when you were little that you knew there wasn't a Santa. Great. Yippity do for you. You didn't get to experience great memories and be part of a tradition that is decades upon decades old, plus the fact that you're probably going to deny your children from experiencing all of this as well. So enjoy that truth, tastes real bitter huh?
Now, I know the perfect punishment for the DJ. A big burly guy should be dressed in a Santa suit and repeatedly buttfuck this guy screaming, "WHO'S PRETEND NOW, BITCH!"
I'd laugh.
