Christmas barbarism

It is now officially the holiday shopping season, since I have started receiving cheesy catalogs chock-full of festive cheapness. Anticipating a good laugh, I was instead alarmed by the violence depicted in this year's catalogs. Here are some examples that will shock and disgust you:

No animals were harmed in the making of this catalog... Oh yeah, except Paula Penguin over there, who was apparently put on the rack for not being cute enough.

Some people *liked* the part in Frosty the Snowman where Frosty gets locked in the greenhouse. Those holiday movies have something for everyone.

I don't even want to know what happened to these snowmen.

This gives new meaning to comparing Santa's stomach to a bowl full of jelly.

For those who confuse The Night Before Christmas with The Wizard of Oz

The perfect gift for people who already have all of the videos of people going over Niagara Falls in barrels.

A realistic depiction of what would happen to a reindeer should it venture onto an Ohio road.

To add a festive flare to your shrunken head collection. In case the Santa head is lonely for snoman friends. And, for headhunters who are really more into quantity than quality.

For the truly sadistic, snowman heads on fire.

Snowman being disemboweled.

Snowman lobotamy. And again in a subtler form.

I guess one of my grad school professors was right--the definition of something that is cute is something that can be killed easily. :)
