What are your thoughts on this?
Me personally I think it's weird.
Youtube says the caption at the end says “In 2022, it will be 50 years since it became legal to love whomever you want in Norway.”
Nice bit of feelgood messaging at this time of year.
No issues with it tbh.
I just don't think we need to be sexualizing santy.
It's been discussed all over the place over the last few days...
In fairness OP unless you're living in Norway it's hardly going to be in your face daily.
True enough it's not going to interfere with me one way or the other, just found it a bit weird is all.
Unlike Santa’s sack.
Just another in a long line of ads setting out to promote acceptance, but hitting well wide of the mark. It's Santa, he's a hero for kids, is nothing sacred? But applying any common sense to it will get you labelled a homophobe.
It's Mrs Claus I feel sorry for in all of this. What's she gonna think?
If that’s sexy was he not already “sexualised” with Mrs Claus and kissing mommy underneath the mistletoe?
I dunno, this seems like another non-event that a load of internet cranks will get themselves all in a “tizzy” over but will be forgotten about in a couple of weeks.
Lots of moaning and whinging about the WOKE (all caps) and so on. Like when Superman’s son came out as bi in a comic book awhile ago. A very sensitive bunch.
Pity the poor parents in Norway having to explain this to their kids.. apart from that a non-issue, just kinda pathetic
I have nothing against anyone, gay/bi whatever, I just don't agree with rewriting traditions to fit in with todays narrative.
I mean first he kisses my mother. Now he kisses this guy. Mrs Clause cast aside again and again like yesterday's newspaper. She deserves better than this.
Its amazing the dedication they go to to always find an article that will "upset" them.
Like I never knew Irish people followed Norwegian adverts this closely but clearly thats a market the Norwegians target.
Rewriting traditions?
Who made up the tradition? What exactly is the tradition? Do you know anything about the santy tradition in Norway? Or any other country? Do you know how any of the tradition may have changed over the years?
Maybe she likes to watch?
Looks like Santy has been putting it about a bit. He should at least tell Mrs Claus to get tested or something.
Santa is married.
And he’s some kind of ageless creature.
And that guy is a bit creepy when he keeps taking his top off.
Even worse, for some reason it makes me imagine the 90 something year old Rose in Titanic hitting on the 20 something year old Jack.
Feel asleep after first few minutes of watching it...too long and boring
Agree, is there any end to this woke totalitarian bull****
So, Santa has ditched Mrs Clause for a fella called Harry. I hope she doesn't have loads of children and ends up homeless.
It would have being easier if they just had a gay elf.
The feigned bemusement shtick might be the most annoying tool in the online lib's arsenal.
What?? Really??
You're so cool 😍😍😍
It'll be Jesus next...
He only comes once a year.
Totally unnecessary other than to grab a bit of shock attention. Kids do not need to be thinking of Santa in a those terms. He is asexual to the vast majority of people.
Who is behind this add? Maybe that will shed a little more light on what it is all about.
The advert is for Posten Norge (Norway Post)
They probably paid some marketing agency to make the ad (hey even the post office is a business) and marketing agency realised all bollocks like this is in right now (thank you very much John Lewis christmas ads for this sh*te) so someone brain stormed Santa being gay. Because Santa being gay is going to annoy anyone with a brain and for those new age pc merchants Santa being gay will be great to them.
Marketing agency gets a successful ad and can charge more per client. Post Norway is happy they got an ad that was viral (more business) while people will moan at each other in the comments sections or forums. Now who's the real fools huh?
First of all since their vaccination status is pretty unclear and since they do not live in the same household I do have an issue with social distancing and WHERE ARE THEIR MASKS!!!
What kind of a message they are sending out?
Second, every god-fearing Northmen should fear wrath of Odin when they entertain this kind of entities creeping up Allfathers land.
Skol.
A prc (please rewrite Christmas) test maybe
Are we talking blue-eyed, 6 foot tall, white BeeGee Jesus or the short Danny DeVito, dark skinned Jesus?
Methinks he's already been through a number of revisions.
Right-wing snowflakes, all around me
Lighten up, lads, and have fun
'Tis the season, for Santy to snog his boyfriend
Merry Christmas, everyone!
It's gonna turn straight kids in to gay kids,sending out the wrong messages.
