Bad reindeers
One of the first Christmas carol a kid learns to sing is Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. I mean, I’ve known this song ever since how-long-has-it-been. But you know, it’s actually when I’m grown up that I get to see how this is a bad song.
It promotes discrimination and the human mentality of "you’re sikat na so I’m gonna make kapit to you."
See, when Rudolph was small, he was cast out of the tribe (mala-Survivor ito) since he’s the only reindeer who’s got that red nose. Similar to the Bakekang state. Different and ugly according to their standards. As sung in the lines:
"All of the other reindeers used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer games."
And then, when Santa Claus appoints Rudolph as his guide during his trip, what did the other reindeers do?
"Then all the reindeers loved him…"
See? Now that he’s famous, everyone does a 180-degree turn. Tsk, tsk.
So I say, this is a bad song that promotes prejudice and sucking up to famous people. This should be banned and never be sung ever again!!!
Haay, obvious bang nababangag ako ngayon?
