Last month's National Geographic had a little blurb about the Krampus.

"There are fire-breathing black angels, a Krampus with a chain saw, a Krampus hanging from a fork lift, and a synchronised Krampus booty dance. "
How bizarre and hilarious! Wow.

Whipping hot chicks and tourists with sticks? Any occasion that requires goat leggings is a worthwhile enterprise. Add to that spanking chicks in tight jeans and I say break out the egg nog. It's beginning to look a lot like Krampus.

The Krampus are first cousins to Black Peter, or Zwarte Piet as he's known in the Netherlands. Dressed as a Moor and in black face, he will sometimes appear with a birch to whip naughty children. If children are good, he brings them gifts; if they are bad, he stuffs them in a bag and takes them to Spain! More here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zwarte_Piet

Yeah, black Pete is definitely the least politically correct of the bunch.
But where is Krampus when we need him most? Sounds like that's just the sort of thing we need to get Christmas back on track.
