[TV] John Lewis CHristmas Advert

[crodonilson]

Eagerly awaiting the new John Lewis Christmas ad to drop any day now and it looks like most are bringing their Christmas preparations forward to earlier than ever this year. M&S have beaten them to the punch with this quite superb effort.

Just a timely reminder that there's now a ' ignore thread' button available

Isn't that add basically saying "be a selfish bastard at Xmas". Something that goes against the
whole spirit of the thing. Don't like it.

ad.

The only decent Xmas tv ad is the Celebrations "whoop whoop" one, makes me smile every time.

Ugh, really don’t like that M&S ad.

Not sure where to start but what is the message, “Christmas is annoying”. Where’s the nice warm M&S vibe? Really odd.

Ps) burning Christmas cards doesn’t seem very respectful.

 

[B-right-on]

Not sure which is worse, the crap advert or the complete BUTCHERY of a classic Meat Loaf song.

Some songs should be banned from any kind of remix, this and Bat Out of Hell being 2 for a start.

ad.

Why not just edit your first post?

saw an apology from m and s on twitter earlier which I think related to this

Seems the Xmas tat has spread further. Was that ad made in China?

People on tv always make charades look so much more fun than it is in real life

M&S has apologised after being accused of posting an Instagram photo of Christmas party hats in the colours of the Palestinian flag on fire. The image, an outtake from one of the company's TV adverts, showed red, green and silver hats burning in a fireplace.

The picture drew criticism from several social media users who claimed there was a similarity between the colours of the hats and the Palestinian flag, with one user describing the photo as "distasteful".

The company has also been defended by other social media users who said the hats are in traditional Christmas colours.

Queer Eye presenter Tan France, who appears in the advert, said on Instagram: "The ad was shot in August, so maybe you're reaching with your ridiculous comments."

Ahhh Christmas in your 5 million quid house then you remember you've invited a pyromaniac and a Brighton and Hove Albion supporter who hates anything that reminds them of Toys r Us.
It's left me all warm and fuzzy.

The Facebook mums/prosecco huns are frothing at the gash with anticipation.

Is this for Christmas 2023 or 2024?

I assume the complaint was a joke?

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Please God no.

Not again.

Give it a rest FFS.

Now that I would like to see.

 

[Wrong-Direction]

So the ad got cancelled because coincidentally the colors of Christmas resemble the Palestinian flag..?
