The Christmas Spirit Is Alive and Well in Rio de Janeiro

From Foxnews.com:

A chopper carrying Santa Claus was shot down over the Nova Mare slum in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on Sunday, according to a Reuters report. It was en route to a children's party when it was fired on from below.

Um, where do I start on this one? If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I would of thought it was a headline from The Onion. The absolute best part of this story is when you read it, Fox News makes absolutely no effort to distinguish whether or not the people shooting at the helicopter knew Santa was in it. I couldn't help but think of the trailer for the IBC classic The Night The Reindeer Died.
