Nah man, it's all about tolerance and forgiveness. At first the other reindeer don't like him because he's different from them. Then Santa realizes that when there is fog Rudolph's nose comes in handy. (Think Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman in Rainman.) After that the other reindeer see their treatment of Rudolph was insensitive. You see it's a very poignant tale even by today's standards with our treatment of Islamists, Arabs, and even the French. So another question that comes up is... Is Rudolph only used in inclement weather? And in this day and age has Rudolph been replaced with annoyingly bright halogen lights?
Shine on you crazy reindeer!

It's a cold world out there. Especially at the North Pole.

Good points, hellrod, especially about inclement weather and Rudolph's usage, haha.
However, doesn't forgiveness and tolerance by their very nature take time and personal revelation? That "shouting out with glee" shit happened way too fast, imho. The fat man simply deemed it so, and everyone got in line. To me, that's evidence of either a really twisted system of inter-reindeer politics, or Santa's a loose cannon ready to blow.
Don't get me wrong though, I always root for the One With the Shiny Nose. He's our Skywalker, our David, our Proteus.
- Well, you do have to wonder about a man who makes lists about children's behavior and comes into their houses.hellrod

Rudolph was created by a marketing person at Montgomery Ward's if I'm not mistaken. I think the song itself is well ... pretty much the condensed version, but the original television special was able to tell more of the story in the vein of hellrod's explanation.
