What are your thoughts on this?
Me personally I think it's weird.
Santa is for children between the ages of about 2 and 10. Not an age where they have any interest in seeing Santa kissing anybody. So it’s shock trolling by Norwegian Post.
Thats all I have to say on the matter. Merry Christmas.
The very idea of taking something completely innocuous, that nobody ever had an issue with, that nobody ever argued about or was angry about, and then purposefully creating an antagonistic campaign out of it is just plain pathetic.
But it's worse than simply pathetic, it is also yet another in a long line of antagonistic bs that has at it's core one simple goal, to annoy people. It creates division where there was none before, it creates arguments where there were none before.
There wouldn't have been a single person involved in this stunt that didn't recognise they were creating controversy. That was the point.
It just so happens to be Santa clause in this case. Nobody was wondering about the sexuality of a fictional character that delivers presents to young children. Nobody.
Here's a few more ideas to wreck people's heads for no reason. Let's paint all postboxes with Nazi swastikas, why not? Everyone is wondering about the political leanings of postboxes, right? That won't annoy anyone at all. Perfectly normal.
Everyone is wondering about the preferred genders of washing machines, right? Let's have an advertisement campaign from whirlpool about washing machines being born in the factory as men and women and everything in between. People are crying out for it.
You get the society you deserve and nobody wants to live in a raging dump of antagonism like the United States, the birthplace of this derangement. If you think this kind of stuff is in any way, whatsoever, "lovely" or "nice" or promotes "togetherness", you need to pull your head out of your arse and realise it is precisely the opposite in intent, and precisely the opposite in result.
TBH....I find the video too long and "low energy". I actually scrolled through parts of it.
"Always seems to me that kids, generally, aren’t “bothered” by these things in the same way as some grownups are."
Kids don't understand when they are being manipulated or are being used as bait to 'smoke out' anyone who doesn't toe the line on the latest agenda driven provocation.
TBH there are a few red flags: 32 and still living with his mother, no obvious love interest, a lot of male "followers", a few mentions of kissing lads on the "cheeks", washing lads' feet and the biggest tell tale...and the bible is ardently homophobic.
I think it will be like Philip Schofield...was anyone really that surprised.
Hahaha, that was posted by a couple of people there, the other day, F. A fair few didn’t “realise”.
To be fair, I don’t think anyone really “thought” about it too much. I’d say the same will happen with this one.
But, if you have any kids yourself, and you’re having trouble explaining this sort of thing to them might I suggest picking up a copy of ‘And Tango Makes Three’ by Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell, illustrated by Henry Cole. It’s a heartwarming story about two male penguins who raise a baby penguin chick.
Always seems to me that kids, generally, aren’t “bothered” by these things in the same way as some grownups are.
Hard to believe people still have an issue with this in this day and age. Mad.
Unless someone is an absolute cretin or a child, they realise that “I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus” is about her kissing her husband.
It's the politicisation of Santa
Everything is political to WOKE progressives
I will tell you what is far far more offensive an simply wrong
Christmas cards and like that show Santa out and about the North Pole having the craic with the reindeer and elves and some penguins milling about.
THERE ARE NO FCUKING PENGUINS IN THE NORTH POLE ONLY IN THE SOUTH POLE.
Isn't Christmas itself a rewriting of pre-exisiting winter festival and religious traditions to fit (what was then) a new narrative?
Its absolutely disgusting
If Santa was kissing Mrs. Claus, would you say that they were inappropriately sexualising children's imaginations?
Do you also want to protect children from this?
I have to admit I was more disgusted and distracted by the lad's beer belly than anything else. He really needs to hit the gym and tone up.
So what you're just pretending that Mrs Claus has existed?
All these people going on about changing him seem to have happily forgotten that Santa's suit was originally green and tan, and only became red in the late 1800's by Thomas Nast, and it was then further perpetuated by Haddon Sundblom for worked for Coca Cola and further pushed the red costume
Must be confusing for Rudolf.
The reason nothing can be left alone is money.
Strangely enough.
What about the significant others...?
It's not that. It sexualising? children's imagination at a far far too young a age .
Hold on a second, I didn't think they had Santa Claus in Norway? I thought they had their own version who was commercialised over the years to look like the American/British one but was still called something different and had different traditions?
Disgusting.
.... not a single non white person.
😞 The Internet is full of shite.
It's gonna turn straight kids in to gay kids,sending out the wrong messages.
Right-wing snowflakes, all around me
Lighten up, lads, and have fun
'Tis the season, for Santy to snog his boyfriend
Merry Christmas, everyone!
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.
A prc (please rewrite Christmas) test maybe
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.
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?
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.
He only comes once a year.
