Hacker takes care of Santa Claus

We've seen our share of hacks, from to Paris Hilton's cell phone, but this one is impressive by any measure. A fellow named Josh McCormick has explained in great detail, with photos and video, how he hacked a 5-foot-tall electronically animated Santa Claus.

After extensive tinkering, was turned into a drunken lout spouting "a variety of mischievous holiday messages for boys and girls." Happy Holidays, Josh.
