"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer"

I mean, first of all, reindeer bullying. That's disturbing. But much more subtly disturbing is the fact that, as Mike Conklin pointed out to me, the song refers to Rudolph in the past tense. It's "Rudolph HAD a very shiny nose." Doesn't he still? What happened to Rudolph's nose? WHAT HAPPENED TO RUDOLPH? Did he die? Of natural causes? Or did his nose go dark and he was put out to pasture and shot in the head like a horse with a broken leg? Never mind. I don't even WANT to know.
