I have arrived: James Lileks and I were thinking about the same thing after watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. I am of course filing suit for anger infringement.

Sayeth Lileks:

I also don't think Mrs. Claus should be played by Heidi Klum in a white-fur thong, stroked by buff oiled-up elves. Think of the children, I say. Think of the children.

The weird sound you hear is the laugh track of the two protagonists from Beavis and Butt-head, MTV's last gasp of socio-cultural relevance. Huh huh huh...cool. Mr. Lileks, I agree with Mister Green in saying that you're wrong. I, like Mister Green, couldn't find much complaint with a fur-clad Klum as Mrs. Claus, so long as I'm the Mr. Otherwise, of course, this is absolutely shocking and shouldn't even be conceived much less blogged about.¹

However, if Heidi Klum wanted to audition for the part, there'd be no objections from me. No objections whatsoever, your honor.

To close, the only acceptable Mrs. Claus that I've seen was on film was Elizabeth Mitchell's Carol Newman in Tim Allen's The Santa Clause 2. She was a babe, right up until the CGI got ahold of her. It's unfortunate that her latest series got cancelled/put on hiatus, but maybe she'll turn up elsewhere, preferably not in Kerry Weaver's shower.

¹ This is to be read with the manner, accent, and style of John Cleese, preferably in Fawlty Towers appearance.

Tip of the Wisconsin hat to Mister Green for the story.
