do you recall....

...the most famous reindeer of all?
I have a few things to say about Rudolph.
1. If you even have to ask "Do you recall the most famous reindeer of all?", how can that be true? If he's the most famous reindeer then of course people should recall him. And if no one remembers him than he isn't the most famous. Think critically here, people.
2. That future-dentist elf is creepy.
3. One time at church when I was a little girl, a little boy made fun of me for not knowing the silly call-backs to the Rudolph song (like a lightbulb! like pinnochio! like monopoly! like George Washington!). He obviously missed the whole point of the song.
4. I think some girls at Miss Porter's boarding school for rich upper-class girls (Jackie Kennedy Onassis is an alumna) somehow missed the message of Rudolph - a group of students created this clique called "Oprichniki" after the 16th century Russian torture squad and the parents of one girl are suing the school for damages to their daughter's emotions and future college plans because of the emotional stress caused by the taunts of her bullying classmates. Girls can be so mean. It just makes me sick to read about that kind of a thing.
