Macy's Mixed Messages?

Macy's drew flak earlier this month for firing a Santa that made an off-color remark to an adult couple. The Santa in question (real name: John Toomey) got the last laugh when he was offered a new gig at the Lefty O'Doul's bar and then got to tell his story on Jay Leno.

I guess it's fine if Macy's wants to maintain a wholesome image for its Santas. But then what the hell is up with this ad campaign running in the Chronicle?



That Santa looks pervier than Bob Packwood.
