Saint Posted 23 November, 2009 Share Posted 23 November, 2009 Charlie Brooker's article in the Guardian is pretty spot on. I've been saying the same thing about the Jamie Oliver Sainsbury's ad for weeks, it's so fake it makes me sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudders Posted 23 November, 2009 Share Posted 23 November, 2009 Charlie Brooker's article in the Guardian is pretty spot on. I've been saying the same thing about the Jamie Oliver Sainsbury's ad for weeks, it's so fake it makes me sick. I like his quotes about the Boots advert!............ "I usually quite like women, but this advert makes me want to kill about 900 of them with my bare hands. It ends with the tiresome ladettes marching down a high street triumphantly singing the Here Come the Girls song out loud, like an invading squadron tormenting the natives with its war cry. Next year they'll probably be armed. Fear this." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aintforever Posted 23 November, 2009 Share Posted 23 November, 2009 I find the new Waitrose Xmas ad particularly distasteful, the one that aligns their products with the happiness of a soldier relative returning home from a war zone just in time for the perfect Christmas. Yeah nice one you heartless ****s, that must make great viewing for those thousands of people who will spend this Xmas without their loved ones who returned home in a coffin.

Harsh words, not wrong and poignant, I have to agree with you. We've already bought all but our fresh food for Christmas. If we want more we'll go find it. We don't need these false Christmas scenes telling us that the shop has exactly what we know they have in stock. Reminds me of that guy in the social club. The one who stares or glares at you all year round but never speaks. Christmas eve dinner time there he is, p!55ed and wanting to hug you and buy you a beer. Two faced Twohat!

Sour Mash Posted 23 November, 2009 Share Posted 23 November, 2009 Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere. Some of the comments are very amusing. http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/business/m%26s-advert-offensive-to-everyone-200911192240/ Very good, but its probably just the trainspotter in me that noticed the author worked his way up the Great North Eastern Railway as locations for the people he made up his "quotes" from, Stevenage, Peterborough, Doncaster, York, Newcastle, Edinburgh. Simple minds and all that, I'll get my coat........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamsaint Posted 23 November, 2009 Share Posted 23 November, 2009 Christmas supermarket ads and fragrance ads really are must avoids. I especially object to being wished "happy Christmas" by jamie so called oliver in mid November. Why on earth do the supermarkets insist on employing complete tossers on their ads. I am personally boycotting Sainsburys and Morrisons as a result. That will teach them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah nice one you heartless ****s, that must make great viewing for those thousands of people who will spend this Xmas without their loved ones who returned home in a coffin. I half saw their ad tonight,and thought I'd reserve judgement until seeing it fully as it seemed most unlikely that they would be trading on the war aspect. Regretably it seems my worst thoughts on it are correct and I agree with you its pretty tasteless and poor to try and capitalise on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 24 November, 2009 Share Posted 24 November, 2009 I'd have her in my stocking................. scratch that, I'd be in HER stockings any day !!!! (and probably her *ss) Any one that writes in about the M and S advert would face a right kicking from me. I live for the advert breaks when I can see Noemie Lenoir in her magnificent glory. (Of course maybe I'd like to see her for longer - I think I might write in and complain about that) Claude Makelele divorcing her? He must be MAD. On another topic with the Waitrose ad, I like the music. Looked it up, Camilla Kerslake, new singer. Good song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
