Santa Hunt Day 13: Richard Attenborough In Danger? A Scotland Yard Cutie Speaks

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) December 13, 2011 -- Ted Burns, the investigative journalist with a gaze so penetrating it can fell Christmas trees, melt baubles and tangle tinsel solely via some sort of anti-festive telekinesis, is still on the hunt for Santa Claus, a.k.a. the December Destroyer. And it appears that the scales are beginning to tilt towards the kind of justice favoured by nine of ten members of Britain’s expensively-educated judiciary and another nineteen out of ten readers of the Daily Mail: namely, vigilante justice.

But this outcome may not be as ideal as it first seems. For starters, Inspector Borscht, of Old Scotland Yard’s Santa Manhunt team, reveals that cases of mistaken identity are rising fast, causing great distress among slightly rotund gentlemen with white beards. Richard Griffiths, Ken Bates and Richard Attenborough have all come under threat from the righteous indignation of the public, and may thus be forced into considering drastic programmes of shaving and/or weight loss.

But can the good Inspector convince Ted that a quite literal process of elimination applying to the larger, older gentlemen cannot an ideal solution, even if it must lead to Santa eventually?

COMPETITION TIME

Ted and Robin have cleared out the Third Degree liquor cabinet, drunk most of the Meths and all of the White Spirit, and still found there is some impressively-strong festive booze left over. It is even, unlike The Cube with Philip Schofield, fit for human consumption. If, of course, you agree sherry is fit for human consumption...

To get your hands on this mind-bogglingly high percentage prize, send in a photo of Santa or post a rip-roaringly funny comment on Ted’s Facebook page. Maybe amaze him on Twitter with your insights on tracking down the big man. Or, perchance, watch today’s episode and leave some dieting tips for him on YouTube. Or mix those up. Whatever. All we know is that it is day four, and Ted needs your help to snaffle Santa, the Mistletoe Molester.

About Keen City

Keen City’s name is derived from a verse in the poem The Moon’s A Balloon by E.E. Cummings, which talks about a place full of pretty people, where everyone is in love and flowers pick themselves. The company is, however, based in London, which falls short of this description in at least a couple of ways. Possibly more. Especially when you’re on the Tube. Nasty business.

The company’s first short film, Alleyman, won the British Lion Award for Achievement at the British Independent Film Awards, 2011, and received an honourable mention at this year’s Los Angeles Independent Film Festival. Another short, Darkest Before Dawn, premiered at the Cannes Short Film Corner in May 2011. A project of similar length, The Tyrant’s Cup, is currently in post-production, and Keen City’s first feature film, The Cult, is currently at the financing stage. The Keen City team is also working on a number of exciting television projects. Stay tuned.
