Saddam deserved it. There is a difference. Some poor confused brainwashed lackey is one thing, but the mastermind that being the guy that gives the orders is another thing altogether. Those guys that were forced to make terrorist porn were mistreated. Saddam deserved far far worse than being forced to watch South Park. He was lucky he even got a "trial" and its not like anyone had a doubt about the outcome anyhow.

Teacher Laid Off For Telling the Truth About Santa 26

Posted by samzenpus from the bah-humbug dept.
Pfhorrest writes "The Times Online reports, "A supply teacher has been told not to return to one primary school after she told a class of seven-year-olds that Santa Claus did not exist. Children at Blackshaw Lane Primary School in Oldham were talking about Christmas when the teacher came out with the news. Father Christmas was not responsible for delivering their presents on Christmas Eve, the pupils were taught. The teacher, who had been drafted in for just the day, has now been told not to come back. Parents complained to the school after their children returned home to recount what they had learned in lessons that day." With all the contention about teaching religion (or the lack thereof) in schools these days, what do you all think about similar issues regarding more frivolous popular folklore like Santa Claus?" And what about Cthulhu? Should a 7-year-old be forewarned that he will eventually exist in a world of sublime madness at the whim of the ancient ones?
