BaQa'—or Is It Humbug? Klingons and Dicken's Classic

The Grinch: 

A Klingon: 

Ebenezer Scrooge: 

So, as the song in Sesame Street goes, "one of these things is not like the other...". Can you figure out which picture above has nothing to do with Xmas? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
If you guessed the Klingon, well, you would  be wrong.
Sadly, some rather devoted [as in major losers] fans of Star Trek have re-written the Dicken's classic into Klingon, complete with a literal translation into a language that actually does not exist outside of the minds of Hollywood writers (and Gene Roddenberry): BaQa'—or Is It Humbug? A Christmas Carol in Klingon.
Again, I am speechless - have these people no shame or pride? Or friends to tell them to "stop".
Tiny Tim as a Klingon - wow.

live long and prosper
