Video: What do Santa and wrestling have in common?

Lisa Romagnoli passed this along.

We just released our newest episode of PBS Idea Channel: “What Do Santa and Wrestling Have In Common?”

The Blurb:
Does Santa Have more in Common with Hulk Hogan than St. Nick?

People love Santa. Christmas is the largest holiday in western culture, and Santa Claus is the centerpiece of that holiday (sorry baby Jesus). But even though our understanding of Santa changes as we mature, we still maintain and cultivate our culture’s love of him. And to understand why this is, we had to ask: Is our relationship with Santa similar to wrestling? Though (SPOILER) wrestling is more entertainment than sport, we still enjoy watching it. So it begs the question are Santa, Hulk Hogan and the Rock more similar than different??!?? Watch the episode and find out!
