The song "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer" was temporarily pulled from a North Carolina elementary school holiday concert because of some whiny parent complaining that it had "religious overtones".
This links to the story which tells of the reinstatement of the song

OK, what the fscking hell is wrong with this damn lady? First of all, it's a song about a FAKE. F*CKING. REINDEER. that was made up as part of an ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN! It has about as much religious overtone as a CCSA study guide!
And why the hell did the school ever consider capitulating to this one nutjob?
Please people, the holiday sesason? Life, light, peace, joy? Think maybe we can try to spread more of that around and less of our petty bigotries?
I am reminded of this entry from last year.
