Ode to TheOnion.com

I have always loved the site www.theonion.com.  They do a lot of mock news articles that are quite humorous, and I have decided to do my own as well. 

Here is my news article, inspired by theonion.com.

 

After Mrs. Kringle left him for the Easter Bunny, things just haven't been the same for poor Kris.

 

Santa Sued for Copyright Infringement

Washington, DC- With recent successful lawsuits against online file swappers, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) have taken up arms against one of their oldest and most serious perpetrators, a Mr. Kris "Santa Claus" Kringle.

Joining forces with the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), along with some of the biggest toy manufacturers in the world, such as Fisher-Price, Hasbro, and Tonka, Mr. Kringle has been slapped with a 800 trillion dollar lawsuit for copyright infringement.  This will be the most serious such case filed in history.

Kringle has allegedly been mass producing copyrighted products, such as toys, music and children's movies, and redistributing them worldwide.  Officials are still waiting for the pending search warrants to be approved, but recently, a spokesperson for the RIAA has announced that they have an inside tip as to when Mr. Kringle will will make his next run.

Kris "Santa Claus" Kringle has a elaborate network of imposters deterring officials from his precise location, but inside information leads officials to believe he is hiding out in the Northern-most part of Alaska.

It is also said that Kringle is allegedly using a child labor task-force that he has crudely named the Embryonic Labor Force (using the acronym E.L.F.).

Mr. Kringle was not available for comment on the recent litigations, but Kringle's spokesperson, found ringing a bell in front of a  local shopping mall in D.C., had a response to the RIAA, the MPAA, and the toy manufactures.  He is quoted as slanderously replying with, "HO HO HO."
