Welcome to Episode 3 of A Mikey Christmas Carol! Today, we’re going full Scrooge on the holidays with "Jingle Bells, Corporate Hell". Mikey’s taking a sledgehammer to Christmas capitalism, exposing Santa as a glorified CEO, the Elf on the Shelf as a surveillance state prototype, and Rudolph as a marketing con disguised as a feel-good story. It’s holiday cheer served with a side of labor exploitation, environmental destruction, and enough corporate greed to make even the Grinch blush.
🛠️ What’s Inside
- Santa’s Sweatshop: Why St. Nick’s workshop sounds a lot like Amazon without benefits.
- Elf on the Shelf: The pint-sized narc teaching your kids to love surveillance.
- Rudolph’s Origin Story: A corporate invention to sell coloring books turned holiday superstar.
- Christmas Waste & Guilt: From mountains of wrapping paper to the guilt-inducing ads fueling holiday spending.
- The Real Magic: It’s not about the gifts—it’s about the people making it all happen.
