Christmas Time in New Zealand
According to this CNN.com article, "A group of 40 people dressed in Santa Claus outfits, many of them drunk, went on a rampage through Auckland, New Zealand's largest city, robbing stores, assaulting security guards and urinating from highway overpasses, police said Sunday."
The comedy here is rather obvious, although the name "Santarchy" is particularly good. I have to say that there's some amount of unintentional irony on the part of the organizers of the event, though, in that robbing and looting stores in protest of commercialization only increases prices and makes the sales of those same products all the more important to merchants targeting the consumers during major sale seasons such as Christmas and those other holidays that good Christians try to forget and hope that the liberal-Hollywood-gay-agenda doesn't change into some form of generic greeting made by store clerks whilst those same good Christians are shopping.
