WTF... Do you know who invented SANTA? - GoFuckYourself.com

OMG Jim · 12-14-2005, 07:57 AM

Last night I heard that the big red man we call Santa Clause was actually a character created in the 1930's by my hometown boys Coca Cola to use for advertising their soft drink during the holiday season.

Can this be true? Does anyone know the truth about Santa?

Jesus invented him so people would give a shit about Christmas.

Fletch XXX · 12-14-2005, 08:10 AM

as all religious shit it was invented, changed, and now is distorted so bad no one can tell whats the truth.

truth is, its a legend made up about St Nicolaus.

The legend of Santa Claus can be traced back hundreds of years to a monk named St. Nicholas. It is believed that Nicholas was born sometime around 280 A.D. in Patara, near Myra in modern-day Turkey. Much admired for his piety and kindness, St. Nicholas became the subject of many legends. It is said that he gave away all of his inherited wealth and traveled the countryside helping the poor and sick. One of the best known of the St. Nicholas stories is that he saved three poor sisters from being sold into slavery or prostitution by their father by providing them with a dowry so that they could be married.

The IMAGE of santa claus that north americans use was done for Coke. The image is based on descriptions of the fat bastard throughout modern history.

They didn't actually invent him but I believe they here responsible for the red clothes (before it was green I think).

Stuntpig · 12-14-2005, 11:59 AM

Right, Sinterklaas.

I was told by a Dutch guy that he was told to be a good boy as a child, or SinterKlaas and his 12 black killers would get him, throw him in a sack and sell him to the Spaniards.

So, before Hallmark got their hands on him, Santa Claus rode a horse, had 12 black homicidal assistants (I dont think they were black as in a race, just that they wore all black or something like that), had a red and white pointy hat and was somehow involved with Spanish slave traders, and if you werent a good little boy or girl you would be sold on December 6th.

And this was way down at the end of a list of fucked up thing invented by the Dutch, including wind surfing.

I think Austin Powers is onto something....

Somebody has been fucking with ya

The black guys, called "Black Petes" (Zwarte Pieten) are supposed to be chimney sweepers. Not homicidal maniacs lol. That's also why they are black.
A lot of people(non Dutch) think they're slaves. Well, just as much as Santa's Elves

Slave traders and all that is bullshit.

But we do tell our children that if you're not behaving well the black Petes will take you to Spain in their bags. Nobody tells the kids WHAT exactly happens after that

Nembrionic · 12-14-2005, 09:06 PM

Also, Austin Powers didn't have any problems with the Dutch..it was his "fasser" that did ;)
