An accusation...
"I have kept my mouth shut for a long time but this newest bit has finally made me break my silence. I used to work the mall and I understand they are just trying to entertain kids but it is going too far. Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the bit where the kid sits on the lap and ask for presents or takes a picture ARE ALL FAKE. The mall hires actors and they just dress up as these "characters" for hours on end. They have a script and they rehearse to make sure the character looks and sounds as real as possible. Guys, sorry to put you on blast and out you but it is getting so outlandish that the parents even pretend it is real. I think it's time the people know the truth and maybe this will be a wake up call for Santa and the Easter Bunny to stop hiring cheap imitationsl. Sorry guys, I love you but this has gone on to long.
