Naughty Elf Ends Santa Mail Program 6
Since 1954, the US Postal Service, with the help volunteers from the small Alaskan town of North Pole, have responded to thousands of letters addressed to Santa each year. All that has come to an end. It was discovered last Christmas that one of the volunteers opening children's letters was a registered sex offender. The scare was enough for the Postal Service to drop the program. North Pole Mayor Doug Isaacson said, "It's Grinchlike that the Postal Service never informed all the little elves before the fact." I can see how it would be confusing for a child to get a letter back with all the things Santa wants for Christmas.
What kind of sex offender? (Score:4, Insightful)
I refuse to panic because ZOMG SEX OFFENDER.
What did he do to become a registered sex offender?
The name has become so diluted that I am simply going to ignore it. You can’t say “sex offender” and raise my eyebrows anymore. In a country where a “sex offender” may have just been someone who was caught urinating in some bushes or a 18-year-old guy who had sex with his 17-year-old girlfriend, you’re going to have to tell me what the person did.

Not really. Unless, as I implied, they are registered for something that would present a credible threat to children.
