Don’t shoot me, Santa

Posted on by

Our first Christmas YouTube of the year! And what a heartwarming one it is, too: the Killers, performing a country-tinged “Don’t Shoot Me, Santa.”

“Don’t Shoot Me Santa” may be more “Bad Santa” than “Silent Night,” but what makes this single especially heart-warming is that all the proceeds of the song will go to Bono’s (RED) campaign, which raises money for AIDS in Africa. The single will be available for download through iTunes on World AIDS Day, December 1.

Why, this instant classic would bring a tear to the eye of the most wizened, shriveled heart, and is certainly worthy of taking its place beside such examples of the form as the 12 Days of Bollywood Christmas, A Charlie Brown Kwanzaa, Christmas on Acid, etc!

What’s the real difference between Canada and the US?

It comes down to kittehs, people. It comes down to kittehs.

Ohhhhhh, we know some bloggers who’ll be so jealous! But no, we at the ol’ raincoaster blog got it first!!!

If you think it’s too gross to be shown on tv, just realize that this PSA aired during Hockey Night in Canada; anyone who watches that is totally jaded, violence-wise already.
