Santa, Inc. 2009!

How can reindeer possibly hold something as small as a cell phone. They don’t have any fingers like people do?

Santa got with the times.

Its a Cartoon L.B.

magnetic reindeer shoes.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

BC13, magnetism adversely affects electronic devises, chalk it up to cartoon physics.

@Llewellenbruce Those are reindeer that can fly, and you are worried about how they are holding a mobile?

@Goodquestmas Magnetism will affect the picture quality on a CRT but unless the magnet is strong enough to pull the electronic device out of your hand that’s about it. Try running a magnet over the surface of a LCD display - I just did, no problem. Or try holding a magnet next to a cell phone while you’re making or receiving a call. (The reasons magnets will affect a CRT display but not, say, an LCD display is that magnets inside the CRT are used to control the beam that “writes” the image on the display. A magnet outside the CRT will partially cancel or reinforce the magnets inside the CRT.)

@CoBass, so it’s alright if a reindeer is wearing magnetic shoes to hold the phone/iphone/blackberry or whatever, without said magnetism disrupting the service. OK, I got it now! Have Merry Christmas

(I still think it’s cartoon physics).

Merry Christmas everyone!! :)

@Goodquestmas Oh, yeah, I totally agree. Cartoon physics all the way. I’m always amazed at the people who expect a cartoon (which is designed to make people laugh) to be suitable as an instructional tool for a science class.
