Advocacy groups say fighter jets and Santa don't mix

"DENVER (AP)- The U.S. and Canadian military will entertain millions of kids again this Christmas Eve with second-by-second updates on Santa's global whereabouts. But there's something new this year: public criticism.

A children's advocacy group says an animated video on the NORAD Tracks Santa website injects militarism into Christmas by showing fighter jets escorting Santa's sleigh. It's a rare swipe at the popular program, which last year attracted a record 22.3 million unique visitors from around the world to its website........."

I can remember watching Santa coming down from the North Pole in the early 60's. It was cheesy as all get out. Kinda' looked like a white cut out on a stick dancing around in front of a RADAR screen. But Hey! It was Santa.

Besides if NORAD can't pick up Santa how the heck can they be expected to pick up stealth bombers?

That's interesting but what color is the Santa in the sleigh? Could they be guilty of profiling the jolly old elf?
