M&S Christmas ad

[Green777]

M&S now deleted Christmas ad has been heavily criticised for burning hats in the colour of the Palestine flag and for the reflection of a blue and white flame burning in the eye of a smirking Sophie Ellis-Baxter.

Lots of people are boycotting M&S for the ‘dark and twisted’ post supposedly celebrating the genocide of Palestine even though M&S say it was filmed before the 7th October attack from Hamas, pointing out the founder of M&S as being a Zionist.

It does seem to be very much a coincidence?

Maybe it's cultural appropriation. Who had it first? Rastafarianism or traffic lights...or culture club?

Seriously, don't you know what's going on in the world. Do your own research on Tic Toc, U Tubeeee, X or Insta and get yourself informed. Off you trot and no further use of Green and Red with any hint of flashing Amber. Fires with similar colours are now frowned upon.

Firework night soon 🤔 only use orange ones I think that they are preferable and shouldn't upset anyone (unless informed tic toc- ers know of the latest research of course)

I was reading news articles in Ireland yesterday criticising the ad because they were burning the Irish tricolour so it looks like M&S are unintentionally offending a lot of people!

And Italy and Wales. I saw this on Twitter - it is a joke btw.

I've consulted my favourite influencer and am reliably informed that's is a nail range for late Autumn moving on to early Christmas 🎄 available in Gel in matte or sparkly for those more outrageous amongst us. 💚❤💛🥳

an add with these images in a time of war with both flags

You DO realise there aren't actually any flags in it?

Perhaps person that suggested both flags should visit Specsavers?

I'm going to the shops later. Is it safe to wear my blue jumper or will people think I support Israel?

Depends where you are. If you don't add white you might just get bit spat on. May be because Israel or people will think you are supporting Everton. Who should change logo. Tsk

I think they get the point now, probably best to stop making fun of OP and others who feel similar to them. It won't help anyone. Either we have convinced them it's utter nonsense or we haven't - ridiculing isn't going to help anyone see sense.

I'm in marketing. Can absolutely guarantee that nobody in my company would have made this association, and it would have gone out.

not all Marketing do their work right or test their product in a wider demographic , No one claims to be more inclusive than Dove and yet they’ve came up with an AD where a black woman removes her dark top to reveal a white woman in a lighter top, please tell me how this passed every stage from brainstorming to filming without anyone raising any concerns?
