Nice, Not Naughty...
"People make a pilgrimage to see him every year, some for as long as 15 years," said one store employee, "Everyone loves him."
Not quite everyone: Toomey says when adults visit him while in character, he cracks jokes, but an adult couple complained to store management that his jokes were "inappropriate". Like what? "When I ask the older people who sit on my lap if they've been good and they say, 'Yes,' I say, 'Gee, that's too bad'," Toomey said. "Then, if they ask why Santa is so jolly, I joke that it's because I know where all the naughty boys and girls live."
Toomey was fired. (RC/San Francisco Chronicle) ...
THE VERDICT: And these are grown-ups who sit in men's laps, in public, in front of kids. Go Figure!?
