Santy get a boyfriend...

😞 The Internet is full of shite.

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?

What about the significant others...?

Must be confusing for Rudolf.

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.

Its absolutely disgusting

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.

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.

"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.

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.

Scandinavians don't get enough sunlight.

I am actually going to Lapland in a few weeks and I will certainly be putting the hard questions to Santa.

Can I blackmail him?

I find the term "santy" offensive...

This naw tis grand, people need to lighten up.

Starfire20 summed it up well

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.”

There is literally no other explanation.

They took an innocuous thing that everyone likes, and then created an advertisement campaign with the explicit intent of riling people up. Everyone behind it knew exactly what they were doing.

Someway or somehow, the ones behind it will have their calculations done and came to the conclusion that creating this micro division will in some indirect way get them more money. These companies and advertisers are just awful, anything for a buck.

As someone else said, they'd do the exact same thing for Jesus and make him gay, or Mohammed, or whatever you're having. The only thing stopping them from doing it is that they've calculated it's probably not going to get them a buck. But as soon as the calculations come back differently, they'll be all over gay Jesus like a cheap suit.

It's pathetic.
