I would had thought war was a no go area, unless we are the usa.

My all time favourite. We're going well, we're going Shell. |

That was a great ad aka'. Bing on a whistle stop tour around GB.
|
|
By:
Found it quite moving.

they were only fighting over the plastic bag tax after all

Clean clothes, well shaved and looking like they're having a jolly good time. Pity they'll all be shot or blown to bits in a few days time. Totally unsuitable subject for selling groceries.

Disgusting advert.
If they wanted to re create war like conditions where were the rats eating rotting corpses? |
|
By:
No doubt Sainsbury's will be donating all of their profits to the British Legion and the Injured Germans Fund.

A very well made advert that must have cost a small fortune but as Bix says imo this is totally inappropriate imo. |

By:
I like sainsburys, generaly speaking I think their products are far better quality than tesco etc. and their customer service is excellent BUT I find this ad truly sickening, disrespectful to those who gave their lives and trivialising one of the darkest episodes of 20th century history. I will not be shopping at sainsburys this christmas.

Next year advertising campaign going to be about either iraq or afghanistan?
 |
|
By:
Blatant rip off of Paul McCartney's 1982 christamas video for Pipes Of Peace,
|
|
By:
This was far far better. But then anything would be better than that **** by Macca.
|
|
By:
Can't see the difference myself. (I'll concede that PoP is a truly dreadful song.)
|
|
By:
all good publicity for Sainsburys - which of course was the intention
|
|
By:
It was very nicely put together but yeah I agree, both disrespectful in using a terrible tragedy as an advert, and sending out a very wrong message about war. I work for Sainsburys. and they are actually really good, in terms of how they treat their employees, their customers and their suppliers. Whoever authorised this just got it wrong.
|

By:
Pipes Of Peace is a brilliant song imvhho
|
|
By:
I guess you love The Frog Song too

Backed by Royal British Legion ( 20 year partnership) All profits of sales of the chocolate bar will be donated to this cause. |
|
By:
But of course the intention is that you go in to buy the chocolate bar and then spend more money in Sainsburys. Not quite the magnaminous gesture it first appears.
|
|
By:
Frog Song mentioned, 1.01 landed. It's a brilliant song and I'm not joking.
|
|
By:
Of course.
|
|
By:
To bix
But ( with added sarcasm) will also do for the so called 1.01 intention from Kenny  |
|
By:
I honestly think it's a great song and video. The guy can be so brilliantly diverse it's staggering.
|
|
By:
One this is certain, you'll never give in.
|
|
By:
Thing ffs.
|
|
By:
ha ha Easter
|
|
By:
well made, but it didn't move me as much as the John Lewis one
|
|
By:
I will take my usual childish delight in going into my local Sainsburys and buying the chocolate bar and nothing else.
|
|
By:
Great advert as are most of these Christmas specials.
|
|
By:
I really find it strange that people get excited/emotional about a bloody advert.
|
|
By:
It's not so much the adverts themselves but rather what it means, ie getting close to the festive season.
I can understand however that some people actually dislike this time of the year. Normally old sad gits |
|
By:
Oh aye and Arsenal fans cos their season is normally over by then.
