Looks like it's time to pass out the tinfoil hats, and I ain't talking about the one you wore on New year's Eve.

No hats in this house (that I'll openly admit), but I don't subscribe to the Elf of the Shelf because it's a damn waste of money.

WTH's the difference between a Elf on a shelf and this:
You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
He's making a list
He's checking it twice
He's gonna find out
Who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
You better be good for goodness sake
You better be good for goodness sake

The Santa song is a song. The Shelf Elf is, presumably, a tangible, physical spy.

Not that I don't find the Santa song creepy. It is.

Why? It's just a stuffed doll inspired by a 2005 childrens's book.

Ok. But, you lead your children to believe that the thing is observing their actions and reporting them back to someone in some position of authority.

Sort of like when I told a coworker that our delivery van had a camera in it, and I showed him where it was. Of course, I made it up. But it was believable to him, and he conducted himself accordingly.

So no XBox Kinnect or Amazon Echo in your homes either. Those things are actually watching and listening to you. Who knows how many people have access to that data stream?
