Unfunny Christmas Carol from The Lowell Sun Newspaper

Christmas carols -- with a twist
The Lowell Sun
Updated: 12/19/2011 08:45:45 AM EST

To the tune of "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer":

Chaz Bono got turned into a man, dear.

Dancin' with a woman on TV.

You might say there's no such thing as Santa

Till you see what Chaz got 'neath his tree.

Chastity was once a cute girl

On her parents' TV show.

Then she stunned the whole dang nation,

When she said her girl parts had to go.

Now transgenders in the Bay State

Have a law that's etched in black.

It says they can change their gender.

Then if they want, they can change it back.

Jack Keruoac was from Lowell. So was Bette Davis and the guy who painted Whistler's mother! And of course, Paul Tsongas and Marty Meehan (who was replaced in the House by Paul's wife, Niki).

A stupid asshole wrote a stupid article in a stupid paper. That's not the fault of the citizens of Lowell. The Merrimack Valley -- and other areas in the Bay State-- have stupid local papers -- I sometimes wonder if there isn't something poisonous in the printer's ink, because there are a lot of wingnut publishers in the blue Bay State.

Leave the blame where it belongs--on the jerk who wrote this and the asshole who published it.

Even if I could overlook my belief that the original song is one of the most unfunny and craptastic Christmas songs ever written, this transphobic and dishonest version is definitely pukeworthy and inappropriate on so many levels.



Thanks for the information and for bringing this to our attention, Ian David. I'll reach out and see if it does any good.

what a disgusting piece of crap that is. I intend to call all of those numbers and vent my feeling. I can't believe they actually printed that s**t!
