To feel like a big soft-arsed tit...

[MenopausalHaze]

For blubbing like a baby for a full 15 minutes at that bloody John Lewis advert!!!

First time I've seen it and had no idea.......

OH made me go stand in the garden for my own good..

Agree with thousanddenier Morrisey won't give a flying fuck....he'll be laughing all the way to the bank. Cynical cunt.

Morrisey my arse! That's all.

High fives sparling.

I really didn't think I would cry at an advert.

It's just lovely!

Obviously I know it's a cynical attempt to pull at my hearstrings in order to get me to buy more stuff from JL. I know that, but it still made me cry.

It was too long and too sickly.

Yes...but it still made me cry

Humph, the thing was it made me cry a little bit but my tears were tempered by their manipulations.

Even though you know you're being manipulated, it still works, but at least you know

Less long and sickly would have worked better :)

I cried a bit, but really laughed at the disgruntled expression on his face after kazaaaming the clock.

I didn't cry but I did feel a little warm and fuzzy at the end. It was very sweet. I would rather see this advert than the littlewoods one.

Still vomming. And also at that wedding one.

I'm more just confused about how a couple of people who appear to be at least 50 have a child who is 5 at the most. I knew people were having kids older, and I know they want to appeal to the posh demographic who wait until they are practically menopausal before they work out how to shag productively, but eh? Also it's just lame and cheesy.

Boooooo....boooooo to the cynics...booooooo!!

Poo, thumps dispatch box I'm no cynic but found it too long and thought there was too much of the grumpy face thing - it was very drawn out. It could have been good but it wasn't. Down with it.

Pmsl @ down with it.

Crikey - I think its dreadful!

I'm going to watch it again on Youtube...just to top up my bottle of sentimental fool.

The genius is in the art direction. The timeless aesthetic is so carefully crafted in the minutest detail so not only do we empathise with the parents, we also recognise ourselves in the boy. VERY clever stuff.

As for your comment, WibblyBibble, in the words of Adam Buxton; nonsense, NONSENSE, NONSENSE

My DS (14) watched it with me this evening and simply made the wry comment, 'As if.'

That brought me down to earth.

bib - I agree

pic - you're a fool to yourself

viv - I beg to differ

Quite alright, HH. I don't strictly stand by my comments. I just saw this as my first ever opportunity in over 11 years to put the advertising module of my degree to use.

c)We don't know what's in the box. (Possibly severed head or sister)

Just woke up DH snorting with laughter to that!
