The irony is this guy wanted to deliver some kind of anti corporate, anti materialism message. But what did he do, really? He told a whole bunch of kids that their parents were "lying" to them while he, the "man on the radio", was telling the "truth". And then the parents have to admit to this "lie".
So what then; the kid goes on to trust the "man on the radio" more than thier own parents! I can see it now. I won't tidy my room, the President of Clear Channel says I don't have to. Rush Limbaugh says cleaning teeth is a silly thing to do.
Does the "man on the radio" always speak the truth? Kids have to figure out for themselves that there's no Santa, it develops their sense of skepticism and intuition. Way to subvert the learning process buddy.
