How can we sleep when our beds are burning?
So alright, here's my idea on a movie. I'm thinking it's going to be blaxploitation. All I need is a good punny title.
So basically, the jist is that Santa Claus, a once benign worker friendly monarch (socialist, red clothes, that whole old cliche) was deposed during the Regan administration as a move against the iron curtain. In his place they installed rich, white, fat, bald, cigar smoking business man Frank C. Racker, whose policies have kept the elves in uneasy complacency for the past few decades. The elves are all black, of course. Basically as the plot unravels we discover that the new Santa receives kickbacks from giant toy producers to keep labor cheap and available for Christmas. So, of course, the elves are all in poverty and many are left to a life of crime (grand theft reindeer, pushing "snow", etc.). Blah blah blah, next comes the elf revolution, the CIA is sent in to counter. But the black panthers arrive just in time, with a possible cameo from black jesus, and the north pole is renamed "Afrolantica".
The US then decides that since all that are left on the North Pole are "terrorists" (black ones at that) that they can just nuke the place. Christmas is ruined for everyone.
Well, that's the bare bones. Any ideas on casting/title/good theme song?
peace
