UNICEF Turns Santa Claus Into Poor-Hating Jerk In Christmas Ad Campaign
[UNICEF Turns Santa Claus Into Poor-Hating Jerk In
Christmas Ad Campaign by Tim Graham] "If you find it off-putting that Best Buy
is sticking it to Santa Claus in its "Game On, Santa" ads, that is nothing
compared to a new ad by UNICEF (much better known for Halloween.) The New York
Daily News is one of the few major media outlets to notice UNICEF turned Santa
into a jerk.
"Santa won't bother going to poor countries this year, so the United Nations
Children's Fund will go instead," reporter Roque Planas, "or at least that's the
message behind a satirical new UNICEF advertisement released in Sweden..." Full

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "Whaddya expect from a
bunch of communists sd?
This is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the truth behind UNICEF:
"The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), still reeling from a controversial
Madonna fundraiser last February, finds itself embroiled in yet new questions
over how much money raised by the world body through its annual holiday greeting
card sales actually makes it to those in need.
Now an internal audit conducted by the UN General Assembly and obtained by
Newsmax, states flatly that not enough is making it to the less fortunate.
UNICEF figures show that its holiday greeting card sales campaign is one of its
most profitable endeavors, raising more than $155 million in 2007.
However, just over $60 million, or about 39 percent of total funds, actually
made it to those in need in 2007."

A timely reminder--we will give an account (Rom.
14:12,
Prov. 3:9,
10;
Mal. 3:10–12;
2 Cor. 9:6–8).
I remember on a flight once, one of these UNICEF bags went around the airplane
collecting foreign coins from people returning to the US. I remembered J. Vernon
McGee saying that we are responsible for where we give as well. How do
they use the money? Are they faithful to the Lord?
Campus Crusade for Christ,
for example, removed "Christ" from their name.
"The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church." ~ Apologeticus
Response to comment [from other]: "You're presenting Santa
Claus as God. Unreal."
Santa loves God and he lives with God
but he is not God (2
Cor 5:8).
God remains the creator and Saint Nicholas his creation (Eccl.
12:1).
