From the Sydney Morning Herald:

Angry parents have beaten up Santa and three of his elves after taking their children to visit a “rip-off” Christmas grotto in England.

Visitors who forked out £30 ($69) a ticket to enter the grotto were promised a Christmas wonderland where “dreams really do come true”.

However disappointed families have spoken of a “glorified car boot sale” with a Nativity scene painted on a billboard, a broken ice-skating rink and huskies tied up outside their kennels in a muddy field.

The park has now been renamed “Winter blunderland” and Britain’s consumer watchdog has received 1300 complaints.

I’m not condoning violence, but I wish I had been there to see the angry parents hit those elves.
