It was Coca-Cola(tm)(R)(U) that made the red and white fat santa the norm. Before then he came in grean, black clothing as well as an optional thin model. The add campaign went down in history as one of the first times in commercial history where a cultural icon had been completely co-opted by a corperation and showed the power that advertising has on mind share. It started in the 30s and they used this santa up until the 60s. Not that I keep up on these things.(tm) '---...____ Faux_Pseudo ________________...---~~~ -- ICQ=66618055 : http://asciipr0n.com/fp UPDATED=05/06 YIM=faux_pseudo : Rev: n_manson/smells_like_children/13-white_trash.mp3 I gave you my : Now: /mnt/quasi/belly/star/05-gepetto.mp3 purity : Fwd: _20th_century_disk2/sonic_youth_-_02_-_six-1.mp3
