Ignited Minds Joins the War on Christmas With Secret Satan Holiday Video
Los Angeles Based Advertising Agency Channels Dark Side for Holiday Greeting
MARINA DEL REY, Calif., Dec. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- With the war on Christmas heating up, independent advertising agency Ignited Minds has set its sights on one of the holidays more annoying customs, Secret Santa. Their weapon of choice against this most tacky of holiday traditions has been the recently released self-produced Spinal Tap-inspired music video entitled "Secret Satan." In the video five band members garbed in their finest '80s metal regalia, rock out to a heavy metal Christmas anthem denouncing Secret Santa as the work of the devil.
"Since the media has already dubbed this year the War on Christmas, we figured it was time we address American's growing Secret Santa problem. The whole thing has gotten ridiculous and it's time we draw a line in the sand," said Mike Wolfsohn, vice president and creative director at Ignited Minds. "Through the power of humor and music it is our sincerest hope that we can halt the anonymous gifting of scented candles, picture frames and other stomach-churning tchotchkes under the guise of holiday cheer."
Potential converts to the cause can join the Karkis nation at www.karkis.net or by visiting the band's myspace page; www.myspace.com/karkis. On the site, visitor's can check out the "Secret Satan" video, post to message boards and even buy Karkis t-shirts. For additional information on Ignited Minds please go to www.ignitedminds.com.
