John Lewis Christmas advert



you see the iceland one that got banned , wtf has this to do with xmas


Iceland’s Christmas campaign has been banned from TV because it has been deemed to breach political advertising rules.

“This was a film that Greenpeace made with a voice over by Emma Thompson,” said Iceland’s founder, Malcolm Walker. “We got permission to use it and take off the Greenpeace logo and use it as the Iceland Christmas ad. It would have blown the John Lewis ad out of the window. It was so emotional.”

Good message rather than out and out shite advertising.

John Lewis and Partners, shite name, they must think we’re all thick.
