<p>Merry Christmas, tiny little media-un-savvy kids: rudolf just ran down granny!</p>

<p>Well, that&#8217;s the story <a href="http://gizmodo.com/5103465/santa-live-iphone-app-pulled-due-to-even-more-controversy">Gizmodo</a> reports, anyway:</p>

<blockquote>Yesterday&#8217;s episode of Santa Live featured the song &#8220;Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer.&#8221; Apparently, children young enough to care about Santa are also young enough to have trouble understanding the jokey song about grand-matricide. Parents complained, and Majewski, already $12,000 in debt (that&#8217;s a lot of bribed commenters!) was forced to pull the app. He remains the only one baffled by his lack of success with Santa Live. </blockquote>

<p>Majewski, already controversial since the discovery he was <a href="http://www.imore.com/2008/11/25/state-apps-mail-app-slips-paying-reviews-nda-22-rejection-redos/">paying for good reviews via Amazon&#8217;s Mechanical Turk</a>, is likely not having a great holiday season himself now, even absent joyous vehicular homicide carols.</p>

<p>Did the parents over react? Should Majewski better have known better? Or did some one just get a little revenge paying parents to complain via Mechanical Turk?</p>
