If 'Rudolph' Took Place Today

The 1964 television special Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is a treasure of storytelling and stop-motion animation. Watching it every Christmas was a cherished tradition in my home, both when I was a kid and now that I have kids.
But the world has changed since 1964. Both America and the North Pole are different places. At the beginning of the original program, Santa says that no red-nosed reindeer can serve on his sleigh team. You could say things like that 50 years ago. But in 2014, as this Fatawesome video points out, you've got to be careful. Someone could be recording your words. The end of your career could be just a YouTube upload away.
