"What do you think of that, Santa?" Yet another case of student 'art projects' out of control . . . other incredible violations of mall-Santa lap etiquette:1, 2, 3, and no doubt the most flagrant example, 4. Be careful out there.
Dear Santa, all I want for Christmas this year is OH MY FUCKING GOD WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?
Oh, it's your penis. Gee, the North Pole really is cold, isn't it?

The guy's name is actually Clint Westwood?
He might have been almost cool because his name is so close to Clint Eastwood. Instead, because of this lame ass stunt, he is the opposite of cool, as West is to East.

Did he have a long, pretentious artist's statement to go with this stunt?

I'm so sick of all these Ali-G knock offs. Awkward, uncomfortable and inappropriate humor only works when it's.... what's the word?
Right. FUNNY. Ha-ha funny. This is neither kind.
I hope he adds this to his "reel", and get's laughed out of every art school he applies to. The bad kind of laughing.

Ah yes, The Staten Island Mall. I spent many a terrified childhood hour there trying to evade the children of local mafiosos.
I especially like how a casual Santa is "inappropriate." Not unwanted, or unexpected, but inappropriate.

> He said that after the pie ruckus, he expected to approach Santa for a signature on a film-release form, but police arrived first.
Take a tip from Sascha Baron Cohen's handlers: Folks are generally more willing to sign away their rights before they know what you'll do to them.
But besides that, I can't see the humor in humiliating workaday schmoes who haven't done anything to deserve it. The Ali G. Show mostly enrages me.

We don't get any explanation of that? Because I, for one, am distinctly curious.

In the category of inappropriate Sint-a-Klaas (one more night of putting carrots in your shoe) debiteuren crediteuren (a 1995 precursor to The Office. Try to catch the very effective mix of Sinterklaas' moralistic patronizing tone of voice and innuendo although it's in Dutch(!).
