"Santarchy"

SANTA SMASH

WELLINGTON, New Zealand - A group of 40 people dressed in Santa Claus costumes, many of them drunk, rampaged through New Zealand's largest city, robbing stores and assaulting security guards, police said Sunday.

The rampage, dubbed "Santarchy" by local newspapers, began early Saturday afternoon when the men, wearing ill-fitting Santa costumes, threw beer bottles and urinated on cars from an Auckland overpass, said Auckland Central Police spokeswoman Noreen Hegarty.

She said the men then rushed through a central city park, overturning garbage containers, throwing bottles at passing cars and spraying graffiti on buildings.

I for one welcome our new Santa Overlords..

Somebody must have wished for mayhem for Christmas.

Billy Bob Thornton? Unavailable for comment.

Do not even blame me, I totally didn't think that weird old dude would take me seriously while he was drinking his whiskey in the food court.

Didn't Chuck Palahniuk do something like this once with a group of Portland peoples? I think they called it the Cacophony Society or something. I'd google it but laziness prevails.

Also, I don't think they looted.

Alternate barely-witty post: Apparently Santa wants Jack Daniels instead of milk and cookies this year.

Yeah. I know someone who's semi-involved in it. That makes me feel special, which, in turn, makes me feel ashamed.
