So, after fielding pressure from a Catholic priest, Red Bull pulled an ad from Italian television:
The advert depicted four wise men, instead of three, visiting Mary and the Baby Jesus in Bethlehem. The fourth wise man bore a can of the soft drink.
"The image of the sacred family has been represented in a sacrilegious way," Father Damanti told Corriere della Sera. "Whatever the ironic intentions of Red Bull, the advert pokes fun at the nativity, and at Christian sensitivity."
Speaking of adverts (not Advents), hows this for a new slogan for the vocation office:
Choose the Priesthood, everything else turns out somehow boring anyway.
