    It'd be nice if they removed all products with Palm Oil from their shelves but the Greenpeace ad is an important message so exposure, for whatever motive by the retailer was fine by me.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Very good advert, short and bittersweet, if you have time(and are able to watch) orangutan forest destruction on YouTube; it's so so sad what us humans are doing to this earth.

    Truth is lots of people won’t want to see this as it’s too much truth for them at their magical time of year.

    So much damage is being done to feed mega consumerism, sad times indeed

    This is why it has been banned according to Clearcast.
    Still makes no sense considering some of the adverts out there.

    Iceland advert

    09th November 2018
    Clearcast is the body responsible for clearing ads on behalf of the four major UK commercial broadcasters.

    We assess all ads against the rules of the UK Code of Broadcast Advertising; Clearcast is not a regulator and we do not ban ads. The Iceland ad submitted to us is a Greenpeace film which has been appearing on the Greenpeace website for a number of months.

    The specific rule Clearcast and the broadcasters have considered is:

    An advertisement contravenes the prohibition on political advertising if it is:
    An advertisement which is inserted by or on behalf of a body whose objects are wholly or mainly of a political nature.

    Clearcast’s concerns do not extend to the content or message of the ad.
