圣诞老人也有坏蛋，悉数害群之马们的种种罪行

       通常来说，圣诞老人的职责是区分哪些是好人，哪些是坏蛋；可是，圣诞老人们的行为又该由谁来监督呢？

       近日，一家网站就开设了一个特别栏目，命名为“圣诞老人中的坏现象”，专门悉数坏蛋圣诞老人们的种种恶行。

       就拿来自美国旧金山的约翰来说吧，他今年已经68岁了，原来一直在一家百货公司做圣诞老人。但是12月6日，他却被商场辞退了，原因是他总是向来商场购物的老年人讲黄色笑话。

       还有一位是英国的坏蛋圣诞老人， 11月29日，一名罪犯打扮成圣诞老人的样子混进苏格兰的一栋办公楼里，当职员们被骗进会议室，等待圣诞老人发放礼物的时候，这名圣诞老人罪犯却向他们举起了枪。

       还有一名罪犯更猖狂，他居然穿着圣诞老人的衣服，拿着枪去抢银行，还开枪威胁银行里的工作人员，导致一名怀孕的出纳因受到惊吓被送进了医院。

       从酗酒到偷窃，再到抢银行，看来，圣诞老人中的害群之马还真是不少，我们可不要被他们老实憨厚的外形所蒙骗。
