Man charged after Santa gets pie in face Sat Dec 1, 6:21 PM ET

A college student accused of shoving a pumpkin pie into the face of a shopping-mall Santa Claus has been charged with misdemeanor assault.

Clint Westwood, 22, said he "lightly smooshed" the pie into the man's face Wednesday and shouted, "What do you think of that, Santa?"

Westwood, a drama student at the University of Montana, was charged Friday. He said he videotaped the encounter and plans to include the clip in an upcoming film.

He said that after the pie ruckus, he expected to approach Santa for a signature on a film-release form, but police arrived first.

"It's a good thing he didn't wait around, because I think Santa would have laid him out," said Sgt. Travis Welsh of the Missoula Police Department.

Westwood said he and companions had waited for a girl about 15 years old to finish sitting on Santa's lap before the pie hit his face, "but then we just decided it would be funnier if she was still sitting there."

(This version corrects that the episode happened Wednesday, and the charge was filed Friday.)

What part of this was supposed to be funny? It might have been funny if santa had pied him....

I think the next generation may be called the you tube generation--will do anything to get a video on the internet.

How sad....

Many had died because of wrong thought.

Key Lime. Santa prefers Key Lime pie.

Santa also prefers to have the cream licked off, Big Dog!

Key Lime. Santa prefers Key Lime pie.

In the UK a few years back they had this self-proclaimed “terrorist group” who would go around planning custard pie hits on public figures. They even got Tony Blair with one, doubtless much to the embarrassment of the security services…

Indeed. The Easter Bunny though - that's a different story...
