And the Coca Cola ad. "Holidays are coming, Holidays are coming..."

M&S have pulled the advert. Good job too as we’ve not even had Bonfire Night yet.

Have they? Not just the outtakes with the flag colours as yesterday. Can't see anything about it, even from Marks on Twitter.

It starts a bit earlier, when the instruction goes out to all the employees to post, on X, "When will the JL ad be out. I can't wait!"
When it does they all have to post, on X, "I cried, it was so moving!" ... at which point dopey fuckwit journos write stories about how the JL ad is going viral.

Meanwhile no-one else gives even a tiny bit of fuck.

@Kevin04 In the spirit of Tim Dillon:

There is political implication to EVERYTHING. It’s exhausting. Imagine trying to figure out if your decorations and gifts are pro-Israel or pro-Palestine; going through your stuff saying, “what’s pro-Palestine? Are my Christmas crackers pro-Israel?” It’s CRAZY. First of all, decorations and other tacky plastic shit are bad for the environment, let’s start there. That should make more sense! It should be: How much of my cheap tacky Christmas crap is causing climate change, NOT do they hate Palestine.

One now out for Lambrini:

[...]I'm not a huge Beatles fan, but I think some of their songs are genius. Strawberry Fields, In My Life, Girl; pretty much the entirety of the White album and Abbey Road.

Hope you'll all be wearing Tenas? Nothing worse than a trail of yellow snow.

Should’ve come with a warning. I didn’t get past (former Chief Commander of the Celebration Police) Richard Keys. So I couldn’t tell you if it’s a good very or not, but I’m going to hazard a guess, it’s not. Am I right?

No you are wrong. It's a lovely montage of the 2005 Champions League final with Sir Sean Connery reading 'In ny Life'. Bewtiful, Mike. Sorry forgot a warning about Dickie Keys.
