Santa Hunt Day 19: Santa Emails Burns!
Online, December 19, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Ted Burns, the investigative journalist with a sour taste in his mouth and a huge chip on both shoulders, is on the trail of Father Christmas, the Chimney Criminal. And while rumour has it that apart from a new sleigh purchased in 1658, Mr Claus has avoided any technology more advanced than a witch-dunking machine, it turns out that he's got an email address. And, or at least it seems, a keyboard. And a mouse. With two working buttons. And most of the other accessories required to compose and send an email to a recipient of his very own choosing. Who'd have known?
Once he's got over his disgust at Santa's novelty, and slightly smutty, email address, Ted gets down to business. Well, almost gets down to business. But only once he ensures that Robin, his occasionally-capable, assistant, puts on the right Father Christmas voice when reading the message out. Having finally got that crucial task out of the way, they have a flash of inspiration: trace the IP address and hack the account. Luckily, Robin has some contacts at the News of the World who are desperate for the work...

COMPETITION TIME
Ted and Robin have cleared out the Third Degree liquor cabinet, drunk most of the Meths and all of the White Spirit, and still found there is some impressively-strong festive booze left over. It is even, unlike The Cube with Philip Schofield, fit for human consumption. If, of course, you agree sherry is fit for human consumption...
To get your hands on this mind-bogglingly high percentage prize, send in a photo of Santa or post a rip-roaringly funny comment on Ted's Facebook page. Maybe amaze him on Twitter with your insights on tracking down the big man. Or, perchance, watch today's episode and leave some dieting tips for him on YouTube. Or mix those up. Whatever. All we know is that it is day four, and Ted needs your help to snaffle Santa, the Mistletoe Molester.
About Keen City
Keen City's name is derived from a verse in the poem The Moon's A Balloon by E.E. Cummings, which talks about a place full of pretty people, where everyone is in love and flowers pick themselves. The company is, however, based in London, which falls short of this description in at least a couple of ways. Possibly more. Especially when you're on the Tube. Nasty business.
The company's first short film, Alleyman, won the British Lion Award for Achievement at the British Independent Film Awards, 2011, and received an honourable mention at this year's Los Angeles Independent Film Festival. Another short, Darkest Before Dawn, premiered at the Cannes Short Film Corner in May 2011. A project of similar length, The Tyrant's Cup, is currently in post-production, and Keen City's first feature film, The Cult, is currently at the financing stage. The Keen City team is also working on a number of exciting television projects. Stay tuned.
