OK, so this song has a terrible message. Here are some of the lyrics:
All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names
They didn't let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer games
Then one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came to say
Rudolph with your nose so bright, won't you guide my sleigh tonight?
Then all the reindeer loved him, and they shouted out with glee
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, you'll go down in history
Here's what I learnt from this song:
1. When someone is different, they are ridiculed, excluded and called names.
2. When someone (no matter how despised by their peers) is given an official position, everyone suddenly becomes fawning and sycophantic.
Was this song written in China?
the fog and pollution may make rudolph die of lung disease before he reaches the other parts of the world, good thing they dont celebrate very much here. somebody send rudolph a facemask and an oxygen tank.
perhaps he could be called a one hit wonder , come to think about it , many one hit wonders in the 5000 year existence of the middle kingdom, must be a poor cultural stereotype.
there could have been something in the reindeer food, from the pollution, that caused the mutation in Rudolph's nose. So the answer is probably yes.
don't know but Satan Claus sure is.
philbravery:
sorry scan, i tried to thumbs up to even things but hit the wrong button
and all the misfit toys are really just toys that didn't pass QC inspection.
Perhaps the abominable snow monster was symbolism for a big fat white foreigner factory boss?
Things obviously work that way in China, but I don't think anyone is aware of that so the song may be about China, but it's certainly not written here. Even if it was, it wouldn't have passed the watchful eyes of the government and been published. So no, not a chance.
you people need to stop asking so many wise-ass questions,it aint called echina sarcasm.
