Voltaire said we look to Scotland for all our ideas of civilization, and if that is true, we better just can Kris Kringle. In the name of defeating crass consumerism, Scottish art and advertising student Darren Cullen, 22, has declared a virtual jihad on Santa Claus, which also may break a few wee hearts. His artwork/advertising has been unveiled on billboards in Glasgow last week, with slogans like “Stop lying to your children about Santa Claus,” and “Santa gives more to rich kids than poor kids.”
