Sainsbury's Ad

Crooked Jack · 2014-11-14 04:44:03

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWF2JBb1bvM So has anybody seen this new Christmas ad from Sainsbury's. I think it's totally emotionally exploitative drivel personally, although some folk seem to love it. What does After Hours make of it?

Must admit I like that ad, because I love that story.

It's a nice story, but the ad is shockingly exploitative and incredibly distasteful. Piggybacking on the whole WWI 100th anniversary thing just to sell some extra groceries at Christmas is an insult to the memory of those who actually fought in that war.

....they didn't show the part when the english scored a goal the germans claimed it was offside...which in turn started a heated argument and a fist fight and then both sides in a rage raced back to the trenches and started the shelling all over again

so much for a football match to bring people together
