Crucified Santa gains few fans for B.C. artist

METCHOSIN, B.C. (CP) — A Vancouver Island artist has put an effigy of a crucified Santa Claus on his front lawn, causing some neighbours to complain it’s traumatizing their children.

Jimmy Wright said the figure is intended to be a comment on society’s growing appetite for consumer goods.

"I don’t know how it came into my mind but I thought I’m going to take Santa Claus and I’m going to crucify him."

Don't know how it came into his mind? Come on, google 'crucify' and 'santa' and you'll see it's come into 93 thousand minds, many more than that, of course. It's just that most people don't want to offend their neighbors. What Jimmy wanted to imply is that he has a complex and artistic mind, but really, taking two symbols of the season and putting them together, how creative is that? Do something really creative Jimmy. Creative minds put cheese into aerosol cans. Creative minds make documents platform independent. Hackneyed minds attach store bought Santas to sticks.
