Debenhams Advert >>> SANTA WAS NEVER MEANT TO LOOK LIKE THAT!!!

[blueamema]

Oh dear.... what have debenhams done with this advert!

He may be cool and sexy, but what are they doing! Santa should not look like this!

Is it disturbing anyone else or is it just ME??

I didn't even realise he was supposed to be Santa till dp told me but yes I would steer the kiddies well away.

can you post a link?
havent seen it

the grey hair just didmt look natural!

I am trying to imagine George Clooney as santa. have i got the right idea? in which case noooo, FC is meant to look like my lovely white-haired 80 year old Uncle.

you can see him on the debenhams home page.

look at this

yep you got it right hatwomen a younger George C with lots of grey hair.

But looking up lovely ladies skirts.... (well thats what it looks like from the advert!)

sorry, have to add ....

... George Clooney/jamiroquai with that silly hat on!!!

DH & I were just talking about that... has he sprayed fake snow in his hair, eyebrows & beard??

I hated that advert when I first saw it but the more I see it, the more it grows on me.

Have you seen the CocaCola ad? You'd probably say that that's the real Santa. And you'd be right, because the Santa that everyone knows nowadays was invented by CocaCola. Before then he didn't have a uniform appearance. The most common presentation of S or FC before CocaCola got in on the act was of a man in a long green cloak or robe.

I rather like the Debenhams S/FC. Though I find his movements somewhat disturbing.

Think jamiroquai has been teaching him the dance moves as well!

I HATE that coke add. Santa looks weird. Far too twee.... Made me shudder!

those of you who said you hadn't seen the ad...
see this

Well, I've just watched it with the sound off if that makes a difference, but I wouldn't know it was santa until the last few seconds. So in ds1's case I'll say nothing, and if he does ask , I'll say its just someone pretending to be santa!

Santa ,my arse.
