Great Moments In Journalism: Yard Display Shows Jesus Killing Santa

» 4 comments

Picture 3Nothing says December spirit like Jesus with a shotgun and Santa on the ground. That’s the front yard display that has one neighborhood up in arms this Christmas season, and though the man — no, artiste! — who created the scene understands the objection, our Central Coast News anchor assures us that he has an explanation.

“It’s something the maker has been wanting to do for a few years,” the report begins. And it gets funnier from there. Rudolph, run over by a pick-up truck! Seriously. “It’s an expression of my repressed creativity,” says the artist, who claims the display is a comment on consumerism. Oh, and it’s right by a school bus stop. If this isn’t ripe for viral video fame, we don’t know what is.

    Good find, but does anyone know if the owner had taken it down to protect it at night, or if he did it because he had received the television coverage required to go viral?

    Joe,

    Does “Great Moment in Journalism” roughly translate to “we didn’t have a good reason to put this clip on the site but really, really wanted to?”

    CRZ, I think you may have just zeroed in on the rationale.

    All that imagery and no Sarah Palin effigy. A missed opportunity for sure!
