A Mall Santa Was Fired After Some "Naughty" Pictures Of Him Dressed As Santa Were Found On His Facebook
On this week’s Podfathers, we discussed the story about a Canadian mall cuncelling da Santa because of these very non-Canadian found on his Facebook.
(Source)- A beloved local Santa Claus has been fired from his job at Cherry Lane Mall for pictures he took on his personal time while dressed in his costume, and the community has roared to his defence.
“This would have been my second year. There was a lot of enthusiasm, and I really worked hard at doing that, I wanted it to be like that,” Haupt said. During that time, Haupt had some fun with the role, occasionally getting requests from adults at the mall to take silly photos with him, including some who “wanted it to appear as having been spanked by Santa,” he explained. At the time, the event manager, Haupt and the photographer agreed that should no longer happen on mall property and while Haupt was being paid for the job. Following that, it was smooth sailing. Haupt says the mall re-upped his contract for the 2019 holiday season.
But over this past week, Haupt took some photos while dressed as Santa during his personal time, in his own home and off mall property. He took one with a female friend in which he jokingly reaches for her breasts, and one with a woman while he pretends to drink from a flask. Both times, he says, the photos were the women’s idea and all in fun, and they were posted to Facebook. “So yesterday I got a note, ‘Meeting, mall, 3:30,’” Haupt said, and that’s where he got the bad news that he was fired. “They said we are really sorry to do this, but somebody has emailed the pictures and a complaint to the mall.” Haupt was shocked and disappointed, and given no chance to appeal, he says. Castanet reached out to mall management Wednesday afternoon but was told no one was available to give comment.
It appears that cancel culture has claimed the career of Saint Nick more than three weeks before Baby Jesus’ birthday, which is actually kind of impressive. When I heard a mall Santa was fired for lewd Facebook pictures taken while he was wearing the big fellas outfit, I expected to see something that was worthy of Santa’s ass getting shipped to Gitmo. Instead I saw a bunch of consensual pictures that were actually the ideas of the smiling women in the picture.
I know the biggest fun sponges in the world will say that someone wearing the Santa uniform shouldn’t disparage it with anything higher than G-Rated pictures. But I say if you want to have some PG-13 fun in private, go for it. The more fun a Santa is at home with his friends, the more fun he will likely be when a million shitty kids are demanding toys and video game systems from him. If he is swigging some booze or grabbing a consensual titty in the privacy of his own home, more power to him. It’s not like Santa ain’t swinging that North Pole with Mrs. Claus once he recovers from flying around the world in a day and eating countless cookies.
Anyway, today marked the beginning of the Christmas season on The Podfathers complete with me slowly losing my mind after being stuck in the house with my kids for the long break followed by a snow day and a 2 hour delay. We also answer some mailbag questions and talk about the guy who pretty much got name cucked by his dear old dad.
