I can not say I blame the folks that paid to see the "wonderland".

I have no words.

I feel bad for those animals. I'm sure the entrepreneour got his "it's so bad it's good" - attention and will gather his money from this through sheer 'wtf'-amazement of the general population. Smart business move.

I also feel bad that some sleazy money grabber from England has tarnished my home state Lapland in such a way. How very typical of the greedy, thieving type that unfortunately inhabit that island nation of generally nice and good people.

I couldnt stop laughing at this -

However disappointed families have spoken of a "glorified car boot sale" with a Nativity scene painted on a billboard, a broken ice-skating rink and huskies tied up outside their kennels in a muddy field.
Humbug! LOL.

"The final straw for one dad came when after four hours he was told he would have to join another queue for his child to get a present - so he marched up and punched Santa on the chin," Mr Wood told The Sun.

It was claimed one child had to be comforted after finding a Santa smoking a cigarette outside his grotto.
