This Shaun Costello joke about Dickens's "A Christmas Carol" maintains a fairly faithful architecture to the novel. The grumpy old man Ebenezer transforms into the sexy, but bitter, Carol Scrooge (a Mary Stuart who barely lives up to the dramatic character) with that systematic hatred of Christmas, and of humanity in general. She is the editor-in-chief of the beauty magazine "Biva", which presents heartthrobs for the female clientele in the style of Playgirl. And of course, Carol terrorizes her employees as well as the aspiring models, ruling the business with an iron fist. One night, Scrooge receives a ghostly apparition of his former partner, Marley, who drags the weight of his sins in chains. He warns Carol about the error of her ways and informs her that she will be visited by three spirits: The Ghost of Christmas Past, who returns her to the innocence of childhood where Carol manipulates her best friends into performing pre-adolescent physicals; the Ghost of Christmas Present, hosted by a tart-tongued drag diva, who shows her the happy, familial life of one of her abused employees; and the Ghost of Christmas Future, who guides Carol toward the possible hell that lies ahead in a dingy motel room as she forlornly sucks off and then rides a tortured client. This nightmarish glimpse provides her with all the epiphany she needs to change and wholeheartedly embrace the Christmas spirit.
