Reinforcing Negative Societal Approval Patterns using Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer.

ArtSmart

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose.
And if you ever saw him,
you would even say it glows.

All of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Rudolph
join in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say:
"Rudolph with your nose so bright,
won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then all the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
you'll go down in history!



Ok, let's get this straight. So it was AFTER Santa asked Rudolph that the other Reindeer loved him.

AFTER Santa's approval.


And Santas only asked Ruddy to help, becasue of Ruddy's particular affliction.


AND THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A HAPPY SONG????

Rudolph went on to manage a very successful team of reindeers, apart from a minor teacup throwing incident, he has had an impeccable career.

What did people call red nosed individuals before the whole Rudolf thing?!!

Like, what names did the other reindeers use to insult him before he was cool?

'ginger-nose'

It's a communist song, that's why Rudolph's nose is red.

All the other reindeers made fun of him cause he was different to them, they were capitalists.

Then when everything got messed up, as most capitalists countries inevitably do, they turned to Rudolph and let him guide them with his 'red' nose.

Meaning, Capitalism is the root of all evil and Communism is the antidote.

Red noses are the result of too much whiskey. Rudolf is an alcoholic and santa is enabling him, prancer would be a better choice to lead the team

On another note, are my eyes fcuked or is you op a strange colour?

Racist.

The other reindeer don't acknowledge that they were wrong to mistreat Rudolph...
they're two faced tossers.
They still laugh at the reindeer with wonky antlers or with funny bald patches...
they have learned nothing.
And that's why you can buy their flesh in ikea.

Consume reindeer to avenge Rudolph...

Don't worry OP, Rudolph teamed up with the Ugly Duckling and they now run anti-bullying workshops.

mad muffin

Rudolph isn't an alco. He suffers from rosacea.

Glad someone posted on this. As a kid, I remember thinking "fickle little sh**s" when I considered the worls of this song.

Wise man with a big beard? Marx.
Sees you when you're sleeping, knows if you're away, knows if you've been bad or good? Stalin.

Obviously the elves' workshop represent a workers' cooperative under Leninist conditions, while their heavy production represents the efficiency of socialism, which produces far more toys than capitalist factories ever could.

The line "You'll go down in history!" is really a taunt to the capitalist system.

Thrill

The other reindeer were nothing but a bunch of bullying pricks. Laughing and calling Rudolf names and discriminating against him because he was different.

I'm surprised Rodolph didn't take their asses to court and sue the antlers off them.

Fair play to Santa for stepping in and sorting things out.

But the whole point is that Santa DIDN'T step in and sort things out.

He only communicated to Rudolph when he NEEDED him!

Not before.

And not for Rudolph's sake.



I tells ye, that whole story is fooked up, bigtime.

The reasons for Rudolph's red nose has been studied and is reported here.

It seems to me that Rudolph had an evolutionary advantage that made him attractive to Santa for use in sleigh pulling. I would postulate that we should see very red nosed reindeer becoming more common, provided of course, that Santa treats his workers well and gives them an advantage over others. However, this is far from clear, and there is anacdotal evidence to suggest that, in fact, Santa is running an illegal sweatshop at the North Pole.

Overheal

santa was the only non-prick who gave rudolph a chance and then the other reindeer realized they were pricks

MadsL

Has no-one mentioned Krampus yet? Santa's demonic sidekick.

Rudolph set Krampus on them, that shut the feckers up...

What the hell colour is that meant to be? Are you running out of ink?

Any, what a load of hogwash! Just let the kids have their fun. You'll be psycho-analysing Snow White or Bob the Builder next.

Snow White has been analyzed to death. Basically it's a sex thing. Or is that little red riding hood?

Capitalism is the exploitation of man by man. Communism is the reverse.




A Russian couple was walking down the street in St. Petersburg the other night, when the man felt a drop hit his nose. "I think it's raining," he said to his wife.

"No, that felt more like snow to me," she replied. "No, I'm sure it was just rain, he said." Well, as these things go, they were about to have a major argument about whether it was raining or snowing. Just then they saw a minor communist party official walking toward them. "Let's not fight about it," the man said, "let's ask Comrade Rudolph whether it's officially raining or snowing."

As the official approached, the man said, "Tell us, Comrade Rudolph, is it officially raining or snowing?"

"It's raining, of course," he answered and walked on. But the woman insisted: "I know that felt like snow!" To which the man quietly replied: "Rudolph the Red knows rain, dear!"

No I was just "playing along" with your joke. So your "playing along with the joke" sensors are malfunctioning. We probably need an emoticon for that.

There is one, it's the middle hoof. Not available on Boards for some reason.

As to the earlier post from someone - I quote - 'let the kids have fun' and 'over analysing', well that's just shirking responsibility to our future generations. Plus I wouldn't be able to spoil Christmas.

Nah. That is not the case at all. Nice effort though.
