[Politics] John Lewis Christmas/Winter Ad

crodonilson · Nov 4, 2021

The eagerly anticipated John Lewis Christmas/Winter ad has broke this morning and I can tell those of you who haven't yet seen it, it's a CLASSIC. Saw a preview on Good Morning Britain this morning and when they cut back to the studio there wasn't a dry eye in the house.

Without totally spoiling the surprise the premise is a spaceship crashes to earth and is discovered by a BAME and he goes to show them how he and his family celebrate Xmas set to a beautiful stripped back version of Electric Dreams. You'll be going for the tissues.

:clap:

I thought it was garbage. And that version of the song was a turgid abomination.

And I say this as someone who spent a lifetime in advertising and who loves Christmas like a kid.

It's not even Guy Fawkes night FFS.

Christmas can definitely do one. I won't be buying anything from that store.

Whatever the budget, it won’t even come close to the Heathrow bears.

Was a bit underwhelmed by it TBH compared to previous years.

But it's upset all these weapons so I love it for that reason;

Reminded me of The man who fell to earth, the Bowie film.

Which was wierd but brilliant!

It's just f*cking tiresome and predictable though isn't it?

Yo racists! Black people exist yeah?!!

It’s that difficult seventh album isn’t it, made all the trickier by the fact the last five have been shit.

Huge day for the "hun, prosecco, holibobs, crimbo" crowd.

They filmed a section of that at the Heathrow TN5 border while I was on a night shift. I spent an hour watching them do their stuff.

I hate to tell you this but…

…there were no actual bears.

Maybe it was dark as it was the night shift and you just didn’t see them….

Garbage, space garbage.

Also grossly offensive to all aliens and extraterrestrials of colour.
