Sainsbury's Christmas advert.
Discussion
Surprised there's not already a thread about this.

Part 1 of 3, featuring a black family. I believe 2 and 3 are going to be other ethinicities.
Obviously hasn't gone down well with the terminally thick and ignorant.

The old adage of equality and oppression springs to mind. Those that can't see they've ruled the roost because of their own despair over their own turgid lives lash out at the thought of being 'replaced' somehow as a tick box 'woke' movement load of rubbish excuse to be racist.
How do we possibly deal with such stupidity? How do we deal with the fact that anyone can be a
anonymously online, which emboldens people to react like this and then it seeps into offline conversation and attitudes?
People attack BLM as in the well known organisation for being marxist (or whatever they attack those people for) but the other side of it, the #BLM movement to help people understand racism is still a very, very big thing is something that we should all be behind.

It all depends on your point of view, there are those on twitter claiming adverts are racist and the black people are under represented on tv.
The other end of the spectrum is those that now refuse to shop at sainsbury's as " they do not see themselves / can relate to those in the advert".
Which is the standard issue cry from the minorities in the UK.
I dont care i will shop at the nearest and most reasonably priced supermarket....
People who get upset about ads, then people who rant on one way or another about the people getting upset about the ads are all a bunch of muppets.
Twitter is (unsurprisingly) full of this Sainsbury's st today, most of the volume actually coming from the people busy popping up to put their 2p in about all the evil racists rather than much actual sign of the racists themselves. Looks more like a cascade of people piping up people to support Sainsbury's because they see everyone else doing it rather than reacting to something they've actually seen themselves.
Most people really couldn't care less one way or the other about yet another Christmas ad or who's in it.

I saw the add and thought it was a bit st. It didn't even occur to me it was a black family.
Then I went on twitter and saw all the fking idiots with a flag in their profile kicking off saying they won't shop at Sainsburys anymore because of the advert. Most of them are probably buying Asda basics anyway so I'm sure it will be no loss to Sainsburys.

G'day!
When does the John Lewis Christmas ad come out? That's the only one worth bothering about, surely?
It is already out..... My wife tells me I have no heart because I show no emotion for these cynically arranged, marketing led, sickly Christmas adverts......When does the John Lewis Christmas ad come out? That's the only one worth bothering about, surely?
I would gladly shop at any supermarket that gave all their Christmas marketing budget to charity rather than these gross adverts playing to the heart strings. A simple 5 second screen advertisement saying they gave £xM to charity would suffice, rather than a three minute epic.....
PS sorry not seen the Sainsbury's advert!

The BEST Xmas ad this year is the 'Alternative' John Lewis, it has had people weeping and even has a warning!
To think it was made on a budget, (ie homemade) it makes the rest look crap. 11 out of 10! Get your hanky out.

Yep John Lewis Xmas ad is out, based on 'kindness' - it's ok but not a touch on last years Excitable Edgar - that was superb.
