Santa Hunt Day 23: The Christmas Single - I'm Ted Burns

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) December 23, 2011 --

Ted Burns is hunting for Santa, also known to the huddled wintery masses as the Turkey Troubler. Ted Burns is also no stranger to desperation. Ask his accountant. Or his lawyer. Or that lady he spent six months following around while making noises a bit like a barn owl for six weeks back in 2002. But all of that pales into insignificance when it comes to his latest attempt to catch Santa, the Yuletide Yobbo. He's plummeted to depths most mortals cannot even comprehend. He's degraded himself to a point that all but the most liberal of bishops would find hard to forgive. That's right: he's made a Christmas single.

What else is a man to do at this time of year? Look at Cliff Richard. Let him be your guide. If that doesn't convince you, recall the triumph of East 17. Or Mr Blobby. Or Shayne Ward. It never did them any harm, did it? And everyone knows that Santa loves carols and music almost as much as he loves cake. And that, to be precise, is an awful lot. So get ready to have the most infectious tune of 2011 – which has been heavily influenced by the work of Autechre, Grandmaster Flash and Slade – wedged in your head until Easter Sunday. Listen to it here:

A new webisode will be uploaded to YouTube every morning from December 1 to December 25 (inclusive), as we follow Ted's quest to save/ruin Christmas.

Now go spread the word: Santa’s a sinner, and he’s got to go before December 25th.

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.
