oh WAH! at least they’re actually acknowledging the reason for the season.. unlike so many PC companies that are pushing the holiday tree crap.

These days, people will apparently complain about the presence of religious imagery, and the absence of it... so I don’t think there’s a way to win any more. The trick is just to try to manage how many people are boycotting you.
To: NYer
We Catholics need a rage boy or two to straighten these companies out....

Well, nobody was in danger of getting blown up over it in any case.

Yes, and they didn’t show up on “Christmas” either.

I’m glad they pulled the ad. If you can’t create a good commercial for your product without offending the deeply held religious beliefs of many Christians you need to get out of the advertising business.
It’ a smart move by Red Bull. Good for them.

Looks like so far we're the only ones who found the ad gently droll and not at all disrespectful.
Now, what about all those advertisers who don't understand how profoundly disrespectful the insipid all-purpose word "holiday" is to about 80% of their potential Christmas-shopping customers?

Next he’ll ask to pull their tagline “it gives you wings” because it’s offensive to real angels.

Please tell me what was offensive, in particular, what were they making fun of?
I cringe seeing something like this, because sensitivity on this scale lowers Christianity to the infantilism of Islam.
