Holiday Confuzzlement

After seeing Polar Express, some new aspects of Christmas tradition have come to my attention:

I wonder if I'm the only person that sees the disturbing undertones of this movie. Or just the whole North Pole set-up in general...There's thousands of red-uniform-clad happily enslaved clone midgets worshipping an old fat man. (Great likeness to Buddhism, no?). All of these squeaky-voiced cult members live in an isolated facility 24/7 all year, but there's never any public appearance of females. So, they're either promiscuously gay (as there aren't any couples to speak of) or chauvenistic, possibly both. THIS is the Christmas-time ideal we present America's youth with.

I'm so amused...
