ziua barbatului vs santa claus


pentru ca tocmai am dat o tura de blogosfera si am tot citit diverse pareri despre ‘ziua barbatului’ by bergenbier…
pentru ca cineva a luat-o chiar la modul serios si mi s-a parut destul de pasional cind zicea ceva de genul ‘refuz sa sarbatoresc o zi inventata de o agentie de publicitate’
voi ati auzit de mos craciun? de ala pe care Coca Cola l-a adus in halul in care il sarbatorim cu totii alergand prin magazine si calcindu-ne in picioare unii pe altii?
i-auzi aici:

Coca-Cola’s advertising has had a significant impact on American culture, and is frequently credited with the “invention” of the modern image of Santa Claus as an old man in red-and-white garments; however, while the company did in fact start promoting this image in the 1930s in its winter advertising campaigns, it was already common before that. In fact, Coca-Cola was not even the first soft drink company to utilize the modern image Santa Claus in its advertising – White Rock Beverages used Santa in advertisements for its ginger ale in 1923 after first using him to sell mineral water in 1915.
