Fire everyone of these PC police inside corporate Human Resource depts.
This has to stop. It can only stop when we quit giving them our money.
So, they are claiming illiteracy as an excuse? How sweet.
I just called the number with my concern. She tried to say they used Holiday because it was for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. A little lame, huh? At least it ended with her responding Merry Christmas to my Merry Christmas.
its possible the person producing the Spanish version of the ad did not know the Spanish word for holiday
It’s pretty standard to have people produce advertisements in languages they are not familiar with.
In fact, I used to produce television commercials in Swahili and Czech.
well I haven't taken Spanish classes since high school, but they could've gone with:
fiesta
dia festivo
or if you wanted to literally translate "holy day" it would be something along the lines of "dia santa"
I noticed PetSmart did this one year. In their store, they had Hanukah signs, Kwanza signs, and Navidad signs but no Christmas signs. I think these people think "Navidad" is more ethnic and if anyone takes offense to that word they could be accused of being a racist. "Christmas" is fair game because we are being indoctrinated to thinking it's a dirty word. I guess being an American Christians is more offensive than being a Hispanic one.
I was at the Lowes in New Hudson, MI a couple of days ago and there were a number of label signs that said specifically "Christmas Trees" clearly visible.
PENNEY not penny...nuff said...
I'd heard that Penneys was one of the good guys -- was using "Christmas". Was all set to buy a truckload of gift certificates there for family and friends. So now I'm confused...
Lotsa folks gonna be surprised when they meet someone in the afterlife and his name isn't Jesus Holiday.
I've seen several Sears ads, TV and newspaper. There is no mention of a Holiday at all.
They simply show a blue Christmas Tree ornament.
Ok so since we are boycotting all the folks who do this I have a real problem.
Where can I buy my Christmas gifts ? I think the only thing left is the 7-11.
Univision isn't just cable anymore. You can get Univision on Channel 61 (WQHS) in NE Ohio with a good old-fashioned antenna.
On Fox & Friends, the other day, didn't they show a Lowes catalog where the first page was about a holiday tree, the next page had an offer for Kwanzaa decor and Channukah decor?
