Minister's Christmas Message Includes 200-Word Legal Disclaimer

<snip>

PHILADELPHIA -- The minister who founded Philadelphia's Urban Family Council is once again wishing everyone a "Merry Christmas," followed by a 200-word legal disclaimer.

The Rev. William Devlin's tongue-in-cheek disclaimer emphasizes that the traditional greeting "is not intended to offend, alienate, foster hate or be a precursor for any egregious acts." It adds that people who are "aggrieved, offended, waylaid, parlayed, filleted or delayed" by hearing the words "Merry Christmas" might want to call a lawyer.

Devlin said it's a parody that highlights what he calls "the lunacy" of trying to purge any mention of Christmas from the holidays.

He said the Urban Family Council is publishing the disclaimer for the fifth straight year because of popular demand.
