    I wonder where that idea came from? Lame.

    Santa doesn't exist anyway so I guess Jesus wins by default.

    lame indeed

    Pismo, you made a funny typo there. Obviously you meant to say that Jesus doesn't exist so Santa wins by default.

    They want *what*???

    $75 for some S***** spoof ads? Oh those Christian freaks, they got a cruel sense of humor.

    Besides, "Jesus vs. Santa"?? How lame.

    Bring on "Jesus vs. Satan" and I might tune in.

    Wasted an opportunity

    They aren't bad but it's really sad and wrong to put a price on that.

    Pathetic

    I wouldn't care if they didn't have the audacity to actually charge for these low quality, totally unfunny spoof. Oh, and the irony is that - as with the original Mac vs PC - the sympathy lies with the Santa rather than the bland boring representation of Jesus.

    How very un-christian of them.

    jerks

    is what you guys are. Where are your manners? If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything. And I'll bet you'll celebrate Christmas anyway.

    rip-off

    not the money so much as the 30 seconds of my life that i wasted watching one of these. I don't normally slag things off for no reason but these do deserve it...PS Xmas just happens to be on the day the Romans celebrated the Rebirth of the Undying Sun. What was that about the 'real meaning' of Christmas?.

    It's ok, I can criticise. They'll just love everyone. Including me.
