As the mythical man in red zooms around the planet delivering gifts, he is an unwitting promoter of obesity, unhealthy products, disease and even drink driving, according to an Australian academic.

"Other dangerous activities that Santa could be accused of promoting include speeding, disregard for road rules and extreme sports such as roof surfing and chimney jumping," said Dr Nathan Grills, public health fellow at Monash University's Department of Epidemiology and Preventative Medicine.

"Despite the risks of high speed air travel, Santa is never depicted wearing a seatbelt or helmet."

People like this being able to speak is what is wrong with the world

I may go postal if I ever see a picture of Santa with a f***ing seatbelt on.

I wonder if instead of cookies this year he will get carbon credits instead.

I believe we should bring in some new laws to prevent things like this.
Example, safety stickers should no longer be put on electrical products.

I would like the to hope the problem would solve itself after that.

this is why i hate academics.

I am certain he is just taking the piss out of the retards in the world that have knee jerk reactions to things and go over the top lol, love it.

Academic signing in!

I'm with XaltD.

lol Bad Santa, reminded me of this:

f*** I hate how critical this world has become of everyone/everything

a paper published by the British Medical Journal...

pretty elaborate joke if that's the case.

That movie is aweomse.. just needs more naked Lorelai.

a paper published by the British Medical Journal...

No, not necessarily. This happens occasionally.

well i think a douchebag academic is the simplest explanation (occum's mach 3 and all that), but am happy to see any evidence to the contrary :P

Christmas sucks and this mockery of said suckful thing is beautiful

You are a bad person.

I wonder if instead of cookies this year he will get carbon credits instead.

hahahHAHAHAHAHA.

It seems like they're taking this too far. I mean, I can hardly see kids pigging out or deciding to jump off rooftops because they see Santa doing it.

Most kids don't even believe in Santa, they just go along with it for the loot.

This is appropriate.

this is one of those things where the person is respected if he is having a joke at his own expense but retarded if he is serious.

I'm a bit pissed at AAP for this. It was all over the place as a 'real' study.

Stop falling for obvious phoney pieces of journalism and you'll be less pissed.
