Invasion of Santas

Ahhh! Gross! An invasion of garden gnomes! (Looks again.) No, they're Santa Clauses, almost as bad, 100 of them. Indian sand artist Sudarshan Patnaik inflicted these ghastly sculptures on a beach in the tourist town of Puri, assisted by 20 students from the Golden Institute of Sand Art, which he set up. His message is green. He wants to save the planet from global warming. Really? Then stop attracting tourists to your beaches, old fruit. Tell 'em to get on their bikes and peddle off to their local park for their holiday fun.
