Annoyed when girl hands over her pig in blanket to the boy in the Waitrose Christmas advert

[KeepthePIB]

Am I the only one to be incensed by the message shown in the Waitrose ad - don't worry boys, if you cry when you don't get what you want, a girl will give you hers? She's lost her pig in blanket but you've got yours, so all is well and the natural order of the world is restored.

Yes, I know it's just a Christmas ad but it's another example of women being socialised to be kind from a young age, ignore our own needs and put those of men first. Any one else agree?

You sound like the type who would have been annoyed if the boy had given it to the girl. ‘Ah, must stop the little girl from crying. Only the big man can do that’. You’re just looking for something to take offence at.

You OK hun?

#tiltshead 😆 😆

You are the only honest person 😂😂😂 This made me laugh a lot!

Then maybe the idiots who created the adverts could stay away from subtle messages that show either of these behaviors, it's not compulsory you know.

Buy they’ve been conditioned that they need to provide financially for women. But that one is okay?

Both equally damaging.

You’re just looking for things to be offended by.

I guess it counterbalances the old Mr Kipling ad where the boy swipes a cake off a plate to take home to his 'get out' sister who was revising.
Meh.

This was my first thought too, I didn't like it. And I pointed out the cheek of it to my boys and they agreed it didn't seem fair.

I was just outraged that there weren’t at least three pigs each. Desperate under catering.

Christ, he’s a little boy - not Blofeld.

Or maybe the little girl is giving her brother the pig in blanket because, like me, she thinks they are the most disgusting food stuff on the planet.

I don't eat meat now, haven't for a number of years, but even when I did I would have thankfully handed over all my pigs in blankets to anyone willing to take them off my hands.

Isn’t the ‘brat’ all of eighteen months or so?

The little boy presumably didn't write the script for the advert 😂

@KeepthePIBis a great name-change for this subject matter, but I doubt we'll hear from this name again as they will have name-changed back :-)

Some people find offence in absolutely anything.

I liked the ad up until that point. Why aren't there enough? Why has someone taken the last one without checking everyone is served? I don't like him crying about it but equally it's just shoddy catering. Pigs in blankets are the best bit.

"incensed"? A tad dramatic! Isn't it more older sibling being the mature one and giving up a small sacrifice for younger sibling?

It doesn’t matter if he is 18 days, he is still playing a vital role in ‘the patriarchy’. 🙄

I thought she'd hidden it and produced it when he got upset.

Overthinking alert.

It's an advert. Nothing to be 'incensed' over.

I hope you warmed up before that stretch OP

Who are you to assume their genders?

Was it a little boy?

Was it really a older girl?

I feel exactly the same.

Sibling can have my last tenner, the last After Eight, can even have a kidney, but no way are they getting the last Pig in Blanket.

Uncle Martin clearly hoovered them all up in the kitchen before the meal was even served, under the pretence of helping dish up. Poor Mum is really close to the edge, as she's been left to do the lot, yet there have already been complaints from Uncle Brian that there's no Yorkshire Pud with the turkey, and Auntie Marge would really have preferred to have the meal after the King's speech. 'D'H has totally missed out on the P.I.B's while sexting the girl from work, but will of course be back in the room in time to carve 'the bird' and ask Uncle Martin if he prefers legs or breasts, as why would you let 'the little woman' loose with a big knife. Small boy has been up since 4.15am, yet had nothing to eat all day except a Terry's chocolate orange, half a tin of quality street and a tube of pringles. No-one wants the sugar-enhanced tantrum when he realises the only part of the meal he likes is unavailable. Sister is already planning the heist of the remaining quality Street, and his bottle of Prime.
No-one will want the Christmas Pudding.
