Someone dressed to look like Santa Claus has been dropping objects
that resemble red-hots candy on children throughout the United States.
Once the child eats this object, it takes exactly eight seconds and
the child explodes, leaving no remains. Thousands of children have
already exploded, and it's estimated that as many as 200,000 more
children have these look-alike candies. Children have exploded in
every state in the US, and several have been reported to have exploded
in Canada and Mexico. An anonymous letter was found attached to a
small pouch of these fake candies and it states that on December 25th
at exactly midnight these children will return to their homes, but
they will be reindeers for the remainder of their lives. No one knows
if this is true, or someone wrote this letter as a prank. The FBI is
investigating, but so far they have no leads about the whereabouts of
these children or why these phoney candies make them explode. It is
known that when adults eat them, nothing happens.

The Federal governmental officials are asking for the help of all
Americans. If you see any objects which resemble these candies,
please take them to your local police immediately. If you see any
children explode, please take note, and take a photo if possible.

This is becoming an epidemic. Please keep your children at home, and
keep them safely locked up, until this over. This is a serious matter
and the government needs all leads and tips. If you see something
that might pertain to this, please contact your local law enforcement
immediately. Keep your children safe, lock them up immediately.

If your child explodes, please contact the FBI and be sure to file a
claim with your insurance company. Replacement children will be
available after the first of the year, but supplies are limited.
Presently there are only 1000 replacements available. As a parent of
an exploded child, you will be required to bid on Ebay for your
replacement child. This will be a bid and bid again auction, not a Buy
it Now offer.Shipping and handling are extra. Be sure to have a valid
Ebay account if you lost your child from explosion. Poachers will not
be allowed to bid on Ebay for replacement children.

BEWARE this Santa terrorist is armed and dangerous.

Call me insane, or mentally unstable, and yes, you would be right on both
counts, but this has all the look and feel of a hoax.

I've heard of this in adults, but not children. It's know as
Spontaneous Human Combustion.
Over the past 300 years, there have been more than 200 reports of
persons burning to a crisp for no apparent reason.

Here is the full article, from

This does not appear to be a hoax either.

I wonder if the kids would behave better if they are turned into
reindeers?
