Santa Announces A New Direction



NORTH POLE (AIP) – In what Wall Street insiders call a “realignment of corporate direction”, Senior Santa Claus spokesman Marvin Lewistein announced at the regular weekly press conference Thursday that going forward Mr. Claus would ignore Christmas requests from homeless kids.

“Mr. Claus has decided that the poor, homeless, destitute kids can pretty much fuck themselves come December 25th,” Lewistein told reporters. “The return on investment simply isn’t there. We’re taking our organization in a new direction.”

North Pole watchers said that the move has been in the works for months.

“Let’s face it, Santa is about dreaming with a gleam in your eye,” said longtime Santa Watcher Carol Blackmum. “He’s not about grim survival.

“Ask him for a Lexus and the odds are good you’ll get it. Ask him for underwear or pencils or food or you cancer medication and you’re shit out of luck.”

Shares of Kris Kringle Inc. rose 37 percent following the announcement.

Rock Group Blasted For Inappropriate Behavior


SALEM, MS (AIP) – Members of the 80’s rock group Journey have been accused of fomenting hostile and inappropriate actions toward women and #MeToo spokeswoman Tarana Burke has publicly called for the seizure of all Journey’s royalties, gold and platinum records and future earnings.

“Lovin’, Touchin’, Squeezin’?”, Burke told reporters at a press conference Monday. “That song might as well have been written by Al Franken or Harvey Weinstein."

“They should have added ‘Rapin’ to the damn title,” said Burke. “Might as well make it Lovin’, Touchin’, Squeezin’, Rapin’”.

Journey front man Steve Perry disagrees.

“That would be a shitty song title,” said Perry, who refused further comment.
