To have just cried at the John Lewis advert?!

[curiousgeorgie]

I'm sitting in the car waiting to pick DH up from the station and someone sent it to me.

Now all the other people waiting in cars must think I'm a loon.

I am pregnant though so maybe it's not tear worthy to normal, sane, non hormone addled people.

It did not cost £6 million.

That is how much they are spending on putting it on air...

No one, and I mean no-one, spends £6 million making an ad

Why oh why does it make anyone want to cry? Apart from the appalling waste of 6 million squids that is?

Exactly Mumsy.

Sorry but ALL brands advertising on primetime TV slots are spending upwards of £3 - 4 million. Even the really shitty ads.

I quite like the snowmen, it's a sweet story. And it makes me want lots of snooooow this winter!

I laughed (sorry ),

Its just that Mr Snowman looks so funny & determined at times, like a snowman Bruce Willis!

How did that cost 6 million. Don't get me wrong it's very pretty and I am sure it is pricy for an advert but 6 million

It didn't cost six fecking million pounds to make.

This is my THIRD time saying so on this thread. I'm just going to copy paste this every time someone says oooooh £6 million, that's a lot

Can you link to where it says this tak1ng?

No but I work in marketing/advertising for a top 20 UK brand

Oh.

what a pile of schmaltzy, snowpersony shite!

In cry at everything and when I saw this ad I cried so hard I had tears running off my chin. This reaction seriously worried me and the next day I found myself googling "why am I always on verge of tears?". Stress, depression and hormones apparently. I showed the ad on youtube to rugbyplaying, ruftytufty DS. He went very quiet and then said " it makes me feel like crying". Not just his mad mother then.

I think the ad is excellent. Lovely shots, wonderful cover version of that song and just all round feelgood.

LMFAO at Bruce Willis.....
