Put Your Clothes Back On, Santa

NYTimes.com: "In the East Village Rudolph is decapitated, and in Midtown the Wise Men are wearing castoff drapes and lampshades. Scrooge is a model capitalist on the Lower East Side and a nude woman in TriBeCa, and in Brooklyn Tiny Tim ends up as a dog."

I think that the parodies on the holiday season can be great fun and wildly entertaining, but they also run the risk of falling flat on their faces. It is funny to hear all the different renditions of Scrooge, especialy the burlesque one. Personally I love the movie Its a Wonderful Life, so I think that it would be really interesting to see it told from a different point of view, especially that of Sam Wainwright. But going back to the part of the article that said names can be deceiving, I think that 'Nice Jewish Girls Gone Bad' sounds like a bad idea for a spring break video and 'The 8: Reindeer Monologues' could actually be good.
