Christmas 2000- This just in. Little Billie and Susie got an unpleasant surprise this Christmas morning, when reaching into their Christmas Stockings, the little tykes found large metal bracelets clamped onto their arms, instead of expected candy and toys. One irate parent, trying to calm a crying braceleted toddler, was of the opinion that this was a very dissapointing developement, from a normally trusted source. Concerned parent's call's into Santa's Workshop were first met with denials, but finally, After Santa's return from his Wonderland 2000 conference, the following statement was made: "We here at Santa's workshop have always enjoyed making toys for good little boys and girls. But lately, it seems, many more of these boys and girls have been naughty, many more than we can really be happy with. Regretfully, we felt it was time to take a stand. Which is why we introduced our new Naughty Monitor 2000 technology. While wearing this festive, stylish accessory, the child's every naughty act is recorded on our special list. Next year, Santa will not only know who's been naughty and nice, he'll have all the relevant details. It's unfortunate that Santa must resort to this- if only the boys and girls out there would just be nice." In a statement from an raindeer who asked not to be identified, it was remarked that preparing the naughty monitor 2000 required so much time and effort that the production of toys had to be delayed till next year. Regards- Lemurtek, whose naughty monitor is beeping like crazy
