Hacking Santa

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the because-you-can dept.

Inigo Montoya writes "Josh McCormick outlines how he has hacked a 5-foot tall, $49.84 Wal*Mart animated dancing and singing Santa into saying and doing things his creator, Gemmy, just hadn't intended him to do. With some outboard electronics hacked into the right places, Josh has made this Santa sound and act like a drunken old mall santa on Christmas Eve. There is also a video too."

    Hahaha, I just got sent out of the library for laughing so hard.

    Did a bunch of annoyed librarians look in your direction with their index finger on their lips saying "SHHHHHH," then cast you out?

    Wow. For a child molestor, that was quite honest and direct of you.

    Now get your balls chopped off before you do any more harm.

    Couldn't you find a fresher corpse for your necrophiliac tendencies? Roy's been dead for quite a while. Stinky.

    I prefer "Happy Birthday to the Idiot who Let Himself Get Nailed to a Cross, and while you can't necessarily blame him for the last 1.5 millenia or so of holy wars and religious intolerance, you can't really help but notice all the pain, anger, hatred, bigotry, raping, pillaging, or war that went on (and continues to go on) in his name. So, I hope the 25th rocks your world!

    Me, I'll stick with the 21st. Simple astronomical events that give us an excuse to drink, dance, feast, and be merry I can get behind.

    If only we could all agree to celebrate the Sun rising every day, no? A wonderfully Bacchanalian life for all!
