A Swiss Post advertising clip in Norway touched it. Santa Claus falls in love with a man. What shouldn’t be an issue anymore, however, is now dividing the network.
Oslo – Die Posten Norge, the post office in Norway, has come up with a very special advertising clip. In it, Santa falls in love with a man. This shouldn’t be a big deal these days, although the reactions on the Internet are mostly positive, but some exceptions also show why it is still important to promote tolerance and diversity. Because under the clip there are also many homophobic comments. Kreiszeitung.de reveals how the online community reacts to the Norwegian Post advertising clip and to hateful comments.
The film doesn’t actually offer that much ground for controversy. An emotional Christmas story, which one could almost forget that it is still a mere advertisement for a company. But it doesn’t seem to be quite that way. Because the Post in Norway is also publishing the commercial on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the abolition of laws that criminalized homosexual love. They get a lot of encouragement for this, because queer people still have to fear for their safety. Therefore, so-called rainbow parking spaces are now also to provide more protection for queer people. * Kreiszeitung.de and 24hamburg.de are offers from IPPEN.MEDIA.
