nice, Bagel! this is the picture that started the fuss with the Santafix at Christmas. the only one I could find was too small to see. some window dresser in Japan made an honest mistake while trying to incorporate western stuff into their traditions.
It’s certainly on a par with the huge numbers of western ijits walking around with ‘beef & broccoli’ tattooed on their behinds. My all-time fave was at the height of the Japanese craze in the ’80′s – a common t-shirt translated as something like ‘I hate stupid Americans’.
one of my crafting friends is totally serious about having a Santafix for Christmas next year. she doesn’t see a thing wrong with it, she’s totally a godless heathen pagan. some of my favorite things are when the absurd is mixed with the devine.

Is there a particular reason Santa is headless?

Think he’s just looking down.

Perhaps they mixed in some Sleepy Hollow?
The headless santa christ.

Ok, I see it now. The pointy santa hat pointing down looked like a giant gaping hole to me. Tells you something about me, I guess.
@Bagel: A more perfect Easter image could not be imagined.

I thought they couldn’t find funding?

They got a gov’t grant.
It seems the bureaucrats equate sacrilege with art.
You should apply.

I saw a t-shirt that said “QWND- a whole letter past pwnd!”
