    Meh, I'm convinced that BreakingNews.ie is run by AHers. That article convinces me the Australia is the land of the damned. Ireland, however, is The Land of the Damned Good Looking.

    drink flying?
    He broke the safe flying regulations by flying at the speed of light in commercial airspace and also he's broke numerous countrys airspace laws by flying at light speed and/or freezing time and breaching their airspace.

    It sounds like a job for Dr Who to track him down and arrest him,

    :pac:

    surely though there's no way to measure how fast he's going therefor impossible to say he breaking the law.

    Maybe he uses mini black holes to move from house to house as it would be instant and avoid all those silly Aussie laws

    Other dangerous activities that Santa could be accused of promoting include speeding, disregard for road rules, and extreme sports such as roof surfing and chimney jumping.

    “Despite the risks of high speed air travel Santa is never depicted wearing a seatbelt or a helmet.”

    With Santa coughing or sneezing up to 10 times a day, he may also pass on infections such as swine flu to children, the authors wrote.

    A shortage of Santa "helpers" means people are never checked for any illnesses they may be carrying or given help to protect them from sick children.

    I'm in stitches laughing at this stuff, there's no way these guys are serious! :D

    You have to put in at least 400 hours of drink driving before you get your expert qualification.

    It doesn't say what they're experts in, they could be experts in dog**** and tiddlywinks. The entire article is a pisstake. Next they'll be looking for an ethnically diverse Santa, half chinese and half indian.

    Sadly I believe they are. The fun of life is slowly being sucked away thanks to d*cks such as these. Pretty soon your kids won't be allowed out in case they scrape their knees on the footpath.

    It's a really sad indictment of the direction society is going. Whatever the hell happened to common sense?

    He also promotes home invasion, lying to children about his existence, punishment for being "naughty" and his reindeers have been known to poop on at least 2-3 dozen house's roofs in his trek around the world on Xmas Eve, using elf labour for his factory and mass producing toys with little to no safety regulation is also a concern, as is his workshy schedule, one day of work in a year? while reaping the benefits of image royalties all year round, not even an Irish TD could claim that :D

    I'm surprised that it's from Australia. Normally when I see a particularly useless piece of research it comes from John Moores Uni.

    My Dad always told me that Santa likes a large whiskey to keep him warm and that's what we always left out for him.

    Why would he lie? :mad:

    He also promotes laziness. The fecker works 1 day of the year and goes on the dole the rest of the time.

    He also promotes bad fashion. White fur trim is soooooo 1970's.
