The Elf On A Shelf phenomenon is beyond me. In fact, I think it should be killed off as quickly as it seems to have arrived. It’s just blackmail by another name.

Thankfully we won’t have to put up with the hateful elf for much longer, as he’s about to be killed off in an unfortunate accident. At least according to Conan O’Brien.

This is obviously not real, but then nor is the Elf On A Shelf! It’s just a creepy and disturbing way for parents to get their kids to behave in the run-up to Christmas.

Kill it, kill it with fire. Or a ceiling fan. Whatevs.
