In a related story, [reference deleted] will be suing millions of mommies and daddies for attempted fraud for perpetuating the story of a fake person: Mr S. Claus. This indirectly led to this press release:

geocities.com

Plainiffs alleged that they were only acting in order to make childhood more enjoyable and filled with wonder. Many also stated that they intended to continue this fraudulent activity with future children.

[Reference deleted] said that defendants have engaged in similar fraudulent activities in the past and have indicated that they plan to disseminate information alluding to other non-existent individuals, namely Mr. E. Bunny and Mr/Ms. T. Fairy, among others.
