The North Pole has become the most depressing and perverted hole on Earth. We used to keep tabs on folks through snitches and grandparents, but these days — thanks to Facebook and flat screens — we can actually monitor everyone, everywhere. And it turns out, nobody deserves a damn thing. Santa knows when you've been sexting, and, we're sorry, but even your grandma has a YouPorn account. Ho! Ho! Ho!
As a result, standards have been dropped around here over the past few years. Everyone gets a gift now, no matter how many mentally retarded people they executed as the governor of Texas, or how many times they relapsed and drunk drove down Sunset.
So, we've decided to start shopping from the heart, and to put the pleasantries aside this year to let people know how we really feel about their irksome ways. We suggest you do the same, and to show you how it's done, here are a few of the contemptible fools we're currently shopping for. Remember: it's the thought that fucking counts.
Sincerely,
Mr. and Mrs. Claus

The scene is familiar: the vast blue sky, the expanses of sand, and, atop a distant hill, Jesus delivers the Sermon on the Mount to a rapt throng. But on the fringes of the crowd, His listeners behave like rowdies at a rock concert, yelling at one another and brawling until no one can hear the Savior's words. What's that He said? Blessed are the cheesemakers?

Moments after Adam Vinatieri's field goal split the uprights as the clock expired in the Louisiana Superdome on February 3, 2002, the streets of Boston were in bedlam. Drunk people dangled from trees and hung off lampposts. Motorists leaned on their horns. I saw a guy hug a cop
