O Pai Natal está na Internet

O Pai Natal já não vive isolado no Pólo Norte, com a Mãe Natal e os seus pequenos ajudantes. O senhor de barbas brancas e fato vermelho está na Internet, envia e-mails, fala em podcasts e escreve em blogues. Quem é que tem coragem de dizer que não acredita no Pai Natal?

Santa Claus gets personal in Internet podcasts for children

TORONTO (CP) - He was once a distant, elusive figure accessible only through letters, parades and mall visits. Now, with the click of a mouse, Santa Claus can be easily reached via e-mail, blogs and, yes, even podcasts.
"It's a whole new way for kids to interact with Santa on a more personal level to hear what's going on in the North Pole, to hear his voice," says Todd Hustins, co-creator of a Toronto-based website that posts a daily blog and free audio podcast from Saint Nick.
"If the kids know what they're doing, it is downloadable, but you just click on it and it starts playing. We're also in Apple's ITunes, so you can subscribe to Santa's podcast and story and then it gets downloaded right to your music player."

A citação
"I don't want everyone seeing me in my swimming trunks. After all, it's no secret I don't have Brad Pitt's look."
