    @Boundegar – Spydermens are iraqneds, not hyoomuns. :P

    Good thing he didn’t ask for the Incredible Hulk.

    Sorry to rain on everyone’s parade, but that’s not Santa.  The real Santa doesn’t have an Ontarian accent.  (though to be honest, the accent makes for some nice “ho ho ho”s)

      Neither does Spiderman, eh.  He’s from Queens.  And you’re not raining on our parade.  Just the parade of A SMALL CHILD WHO JUST WANTED TO MEET SPIDERMAN.

    I sincerely miss being able to have my wildest fantasies realised by people in shoddy costumes.

    Yes, yes, smutty implication, but really, imagine being able to believe once again that someone merely sporting a polyester beard was Father Christmas.

      Drink more. Maybe some day, I’ll tell you about that Easter Bunny in the alley outside the bar.

        Surely I get merit for trying?

    Incidentally, that kid got a better deal than these ones: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yb3txW1p1D8

    That video was incredibly underwhelming. 

  • Pobol Pobotrol

    Spiderman is for life, not just for Christmas.

    Pass on doing Santa’s bells.

    who would have thought that those spiderman poses look much better on paper than in real life

    This is adorable. But did anyone else flash back to “Audition” when the kid started unwrapping Spidey? The way he was curled up in the paper reminded me of one of the film’s first scares.

  • Marya

     Maybe I have ice in my heart,
    But how is that kid not spoiled?

    • Brainspore

      Bobby Drake has ice in his heart too, but that doesn’t stop him from appreciating Spider-Man.

      • EvilSpirit

         It’s good to have such amazing friends.

  • Greg Van Antwerp

    I, too, was underwhelmed.  Why was I expecting a kid bouncing off the walls with happiness? Or am I flashing back to my own deeply hidden disappointment with one xmas a long time ago…(*sniff*)
