Quote:
Nothing says Christmas quite like a stuffed leopard murdering a fear-stricken antelope. Err... wait, how did we miss that part of the Bible?

Mayor Jorge Santini of San Juan landed himself a spot in the famed Awkward Family Photo blog with his 2011 Christmas picture which depicts his family huddling around a taxidermied killing scene. As a leopard sinks its teeth into a poor creature’s throat, a little girl strikes a very sassy pose.

The caption under the astoundingly strange photo is equally as puzzling:

“May your dream be illuminated this Christmas,” it reads in Spanish. We’re not quite sure what the Mayor’s dream is, but the hunt scene was chosen to embody the mayor's holiday spirits over a few other creepy options -- including an unconvincing penguin figure staring into a young man's ear in an frosty wonderland and a giant bird swooping over the Mayor’s head as a black bear poses nearby.

While some political rivals have interpreted the picture as Santini’s understated warning for opponents in the upcoming election, the Mayor insists that he was promoting the San Juan Wildlife Museum.

Whatever Santini's motivations may be, here at HuffPost LatinoVoices, we wish you a holiday filled with sassy seven year olds and taxidermied jungle cats.


And the images (SFW):

My friend pointed out that the son looks like a deranged Muppet and I can't argue.

Is this San Juan, Puerto Rico, or San Juan, Texas?

How much of a difference does this information make for this thread?

Other than the fact that I live right by San Juan Teaxs, none. I just wanted to know if this going on in my neck of the woods.

This is funnier when read as an immediate response to the question above.

Is it just me, or does the youngest daughter look taxidermy'd, too? ...
