The city council of a small town in Brazil 6,000 miles away from Scandinavia voted to publically repudiate a Norweigian ad featuring a gay Santa Claus

1. Og Norge svarer med: “I’ll Fuckin’ Do It Again!”

2. I wish them well

3. There is a very Norwegian saying that fits this situation very well:

   ***Synd. Trist. Leit.***

4. Reklamen er grei nok ,men skjønner ikke hvorfor posten kommer med denne vinkelen , virker veldig som di prøver å hoppe på regnbue toget litt seint .

5. Oh no!

   ​

   Anyway…

6. As a brazilian, I am ashamed of Brazil in general and the political direction it took in the last few years. It’s basically a bigoted evangelical theocracy now. I hope that town in particular fucking explodes.

   I want to move to scandinavia so hard.

7. No matter how much mental gymnastics Christians throw at you, it remains a fact that Christmas has pagan roots. As a Christian they shouldn’t even be celebrating Christmas as it is a sin to worship your god in the ways of pagans, for them.

   So why Christians don’t like gay Santa, but openly commit a sin by celebrating Christmas is beyond a logical person.

8. Gay

9. Stay mad

10. Ingen ble sint da det ble klart at Humlesnurr var homofil. Grunnen for at de samme folkene blir sinte nå er fordi dette føles ganske enkelt som at det faktisk er en «homofil agenda» som dyttes ned i strupene våre. Karakterer som ikke var homo før, skal nå bli homo. Det som er irriterende er jo at det faktisk gir konspigærningene litt rett.

    Edit: bittelitt rett

11. More people outside Norway are watching this ad that’s made for the local market and is a low key celebration of the 50th anniversary of decriminalisation of homosexuality in Norway.

12. Oh noooooo what will we do without that one weird brazil village we’ve never heard of

13. Eu tem um carro

14. Don’t tell any religious conservatives in America, or the Republicans will start bombing (your oil would just be a lucky perk)

15. Maybe we can use gay santa claus to Blackmail Brazil into taking better care of the amazon rainforest.

16. Not that is makes this whole thing any less stupid, I’d just like to point out that the reported “small town” in the headline would be the largest municipality in the country if it was located in Norway. Just another way perspectives differ between Brazil and Norway, I guess.

17. Was this ad in any way intended for a small town in Brazil?

18. Sick!

19. Bruhzil

20. Ok

21. Not to rain on their parade, but we don’t even talk or think about it here that much in Norge. It’s an ad. We moved on after.

22. thats hilarious

23. That ad is the gift that keeps on giving.
