M&S Christmas TV ad 'offensive

To be honest thats the only thing I like about the M&S clothing adverts. She has always been the one that wears the underwear in every advert and no one has complained until now.

Even the take that one last year didnt get any complaints!

Who knows, they obviously haven't walked around the women’s department and seen all the cardboard cut-outs. Nobody complains about those. :D
 
I'm getting fed up that people take these complaints seriously. IF 5 million people have seen the advert, and 8 people have complained, literally ignore it. For a widely seen ad frankly, any people involved, so M&S, and any trading standards, complaints departments type people should only even be registering this as close to a problem if you were talking about 10,000-100,000's of complaints.

8? IF we start withdrawing ad's, and stories, and tv shows and music over 8 damn complaints, well nothing would get shown. Almost everything in the world is offensive/irritating to at least someone, the more we blow these things out of proportion and start caving in to a ridiculously small minority, the more people will complain thinking they can get rid of the things we don't like.

This news story should have been a joke, or laughing at the 8 people with no lives, rather than debating if the ad should be investigated and maybe pulled.
 
Does anyone remember the bill board adverts a few months back from M&S and it was just a big set of boobs in a bra saying quality matters? I loved those and even tho they had men in their pants I didnt complain cos I didnt look like them.

Madness i tell you, bring back those boobs lol
 
I have finally learnt that if you are a trainer/facilitator/teacher, you have to go over your lesson plans with a fine tooth comb and if there is anything that you think could offend anybody, you remove it.
eg : for 19 months I have been running a hand washing techniques class using an infra red light box and I get kids to pass on germs to each other which usually gets a laugh from everybody in the room.
At a recent session one teacher told me she was concerned I was getting kids 'touching' each other.
I have now removed that from the lesson plan and I get them to contaminate a couple of clinical education manikins.
No doubt somebody will show a concern that I'm getting kids to touch something that looks 'sexual' in nature.
The problem is that you have to tailor to the one concern and not the 1000s who enjoyed it.

I wouldn't worry about it, you've got bigger problems. You're an adult who has chosen to spend time with children that aren't your own, therefore you must be a paedophile :rolleyes:
 
Maybe if enough of us complain we can get MS to re-shoot the advert. The guy can then change his lines and she can wear less clothes.
 
What a joke, as said you know these "women" that coplained are likely fat old hags and possibly simply dislike Philip Glenister or atleast his previous character :rolleyes:

8 people complained, so that makes it an amazing success really. 99.99999% obviously liked it.
