Pictured above: Santa's hapless photographer gets a good talking-to from the Big Elf himself. Upset with the poor quality of the photos posted at the Mudcat website, the North Pole toy workshop's CEO (Contributor of Entertaining Objects) takes his photog to task. The photographer, an elf of average stature and therefore quite a bit shorter than Mr. Claus, held his camera nervously as he was being lectured and inevitably pressed the shutter button. The result is this snapshot, a rarely-seen view of Kris Kringle's crotch.
