1st of November and we're off and running FFS.

M&S Christmas advert 2023: Sophie Ellis-Bextor - YouTube

A total waste of money.
Would only be saved by Meatloaf appearing as Eddie on that Harley and battering anyone involved with a baseball bat.

And part of the M&S XMas ad campaign has already been pulled thanks to a new level of finding offence where none exists.

Apparently burning paper hats in Christmas colours reminds people of the Palestinian flag in flames!

Lidl's ad is a bit generic Christmas ad by numbers :(

M&S having given in to the  'I'm offended by everything brigade', they have lost my £250+ Christmas food shopping this year!

They probably wont miss me, but I am sick of the pandering to the minority who actively seek out something to find offensive, even when there is nothing there!

Must be an 80's vibe with the tunes... as Waitrose is right up there 'Just can't get enough'

I wonder if they bought it off a US retailer to save money.

Also how unrealistic is that advert??? No way the toy monkey wouldn't be filthy.

Of course not.
I'm always shooing the Racoons away from my bins.

If they wanted to make it more British they could simply swap the raccoon for a giant rat and instead of living in a tree he could live in a pile of fly-tipped rubbish.

And called it Shredder?
