Disgust about Advent wreath as advertiser
The concerned professor explains: “Using an Advent wreath as advertiser is irresponsible! This holy symbol is very important for the church. It’s not possible to abuse it for advertisings.”
The director of the advertising campaign thinks that an Advent wreath is a custom and no religious symbol. He shows himself amazed about the hysterical reaction. Many stores have Christmassy symbols in their shop windows. The director wonders if there are no better fertile starting points for critics.
The project of “Linz09″, the year of Linz as cultural capital uses also the holy royal family and an Advent calendar in its advertisings. The Catholic professor did not care about that. Only the use of an Advent wreath is evil, he thinks. Maybe the argumentative advertising can be seen on the website: www.advertisinginaustria.com soon.
