Lego Santa Crab Will Frighten Children Into Being Good All Year

Posted by Brett Singer

The Evil Lego Santa Crab will scare your kids into behaving for at least a year - maybe even until they move outRadio host Max Kellerman once joked that Santa was just a story goyim children were told so that they would behave themselves. (Or something like that.) So from Gizmodo (originally from someplace else, see below for the link trail) we give you – THE EVIL LEGO SANTA CRAB!

Hide the children! Unless they've been bad this year, in which case you could use THE EVIL LEGO SANTA CRAB as a deterrent to next year's bad behavior. Because wouldn't you behave if you thought this thing was coming after you?

It kind of reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Homer makes a clown bed for Bart, but the clown is a hideous and frightening image that gives Bart nightmares. (According to Wikipedia, the "Can't sleep, clown will eat me" thing was based on an actual incident from Simpsons writer Mike Reiss' childhood.) In other words, don't show this page to your kids. Unless you want to frighten them into behaving. If that's your goal, give it a shot – I mean, look at that thing. I'm a little scared.
