Parsnip Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I'm a sucker for a good Christmas advert and there are millions this year! John Lewis: Can't stand Elton John so 4/10... Aldi: Excellent performance by the root cast 10/10... Iceland: Lovely advert and great news for Iceland that it got banned for maximum exposure! 8/10... Waitrose: Bants with John Lewis. 7/10... Nobody: This one apparently cost £50 to make and isn't actually advertising anything other than presumably the film maker's skills and possibly sony walkmans. 6/10... Can't be arsed to do any more (finished me poo). What have I missed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you expecting an empty thread until the 1st December? You love it really, which is why you posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was made by a charity, and adopted by Iceland . Greenpeace I think it was, and so is classed as political advertising, and not allowable. Hopefully people will follow it online and the message will hit home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
