MAD TV on World Trade/Christmas

As I type, MAD TV is running a lovely nasty sketch on the "secret of Santa's workshop" - namely child labor sweatshops in Honduras, including a factory inspection by a doubting child, where Santa acts the role of covering up the exploitation and hunger of his child workers. "Don't be a bleeding heart Johnny, Don't you want your sneakers?"

Other great line- "Santa takes a tip from Kathy Lee, Santa gets his labor from overseas."

SNL hasn't had an edge in a while, but MAD TV occasionally hits well.
