The Loon Morning Show Rundown: Best Last-Minute Gift [AUDIO]

As heard on the December 22nd show:

1. Elf on a Shelf Arrested

A man in Jersey dressed as an elf on a shelf was arrested after being found passed out in his car, open can of beer beside him, music blaring, engine running... in a Target parking lot. Maybe he was getting ready for his shift in Santa's village?

2. People Prefer Less Specific Gifts

Don't pull your hair out trying to get everyone on your list the perfect gift that fits their tastes and preferences. People change those so often that a new study says the best thing to get is a Visa gift card. This study, sponsored by Visa (kidding, maybe).

3. Blame it on Your Parents if You're a Mess

Are you a mess of an adult? At least you can finally point the finger at someone other than yourself for being a sorry sap - blame your parents. Results are in from a study that spanned decades and the overall effects of parenting could be seen in kids up to age 30 and older. God! Way to go MOM!

4. Teacher Fired After Putting Kids in Trunk

And the Teacher of the Year Award goes to: Heather Cagle from Oklahoma who thought it would be a good idea to cram 11 kids in her Honda Accord to take a trip to Walmart. How exciting! Things got really bad when two of the children ended up riding in the trunk. Smart thinking.

5. The Mall of America Protest

Thousands of protesters temporarily shut down areas of the Mall of America on Saturday as part of a "Black Lives Matter" demonstration that's a result of the grand jury deciding not to indict the police officers who killed Michael Brown and Eric Garner. Is shutting down roads, bridges, and stores self-defeating if you're trying to win over members of he public to support your cause?
