Festive Foxes and John Lewis (aka Waitrose)

I for one am both uphauled and discusted :mad: How can people allow themselves to enjoy such cruelty?! Those poor, beautiful creatures, suffering the indignity of being made to perform for the enjoyment of man! It has moved me to tears, I can hardly believe anyone could do such a thing? They should be parodied and ridiculed too, so they know how much suffering those amazing creatures have endured :(

I will not be shopping at John Lewis ever again. That will show them!

Yours indignantly,

I can't tell if you're taking the P or not, but they're not real foxes. Or badgers or hedgehogs or squirrels. It's all CGI. No woodland creatures were made to jump trampolines. Even the dog is CGI when he's on the trampoline.

Gah. And they could have had a real one at half the price.



Would #ChuitheLabrador have worked as well? Actually, for £250k they could have called him whatever they wanted.

For instance, I yell at the British Gas ads at the moment .... why the hell are they showing a penguin wanting a boiler fixed in the UK ... AND??? ... it's wearing a duffle coat! Don't they know it'll die?!

See that one confuses me a lot too.
I can only assume it might have started out as a brown/black bear and then someone in the office said "Wait we can't do that we can't afford the rights to Paddington"; so they all sat around and watched animals shivering in the cold on youtube and saw some penguins huddling together and thought - Bingo we use a penguin!

What they should have used is something like a squirrel or somesuch - not only somewhat native but also famed for getting fluffier* in winter and doing some modest hibernation (or at least storing up food and such).

*being British gas it would, of course, be a British Red Squirrel
 
Given the evidence I did rather think they should have just done the foxes, and wondered if the hhog put lots of holes in it :D but yeah, it's a xmas advert :p

Nooo... don't say that!! :( That has ruined this Christmas for me (possibly next Christmas too). I can't bear it.
