COVID-Infected Santa Terrifies British Children

A British television commercial showing Santa Claus being wheeled into a hospital to be treated for COVID-19 hasn’t gone down so well with viewers. The commercial is frightening children and angering parents who say it’s a totally inappropriate image to air.

The commercial shows Santa being given supplementary oxygen, with a nurse asking if her coworker was getting a response from him.

While the commercial shows Santa getting well again, parents said the commercial was “disgusting.” “Totally politicizing COVID with Santa. What were you thinking?” Summit News reported one parent as saying. “If anyone thinks that this ad is either clever or funny or poignant they are sadly deluded,” said another.
