JL Christmas ad

Why would anyone castigate a business that spent a lot of money on ads? It's not our money after all, it's theirs.

I usually like the JL Christmas adverts, also the M&S ones. I have to confess I have not seen the JL one yet, but it sounds nice anyway.I rather like penguins.Even the chocolate biscuit kind.

I actually forget whichever store it is, the fact it is an advert and in this case I thought the story was lovely.

I'm not that gullible to shop at a store because of their adverts

OOer SUE !!

Just seen the JL Christmas advert and think it pathetic. Trying to get us to spend by appealing to the emotions is a cynical use of passive aggressive manipulation. But then, that's advertising, nothing to do with Christmas of course.

Every charity shop in the country will be filling their windows with donated penguins.

If they've got any sense

if I knew that kittyl I'd be there first thing in the morning! Had a huge clear out in the summer though, and several charity shops were visited.

There is a child somewhere...... No. That won't work. Want our penguin back!

Oh shite flip me Tegan! Now you've made me feel really bad! bad mother alert!

jings which charity shop? I'll be there first thing tomorrow!

The singer is Tom Odell!

My son collected toy penguins. They still all live with me. The advert made me well up. I wasn't keen on the music, although it did go wih the add I guess [I thought it sounded like Coldplay, which put me off].

Oh dear they are gonna be on to you pretty soon jings especially once they see that advert ! Good luck explaining.

The advert is just quite adorable !!!
lots of s

I sent a large stuffed toy penguin to Oxfam. Recently my grown-up kids have been asking after its whereabouts.

I have stalled them so far.

Lovely. I like christmas cheer.
Helps most of us get through the winter better imo.

I love the "fish finger drop" too jings . Infact the whole advert makes me feel all warm inside.

I agree ginny that we can't always talk about serious matters. I'm miserable enough most of the time. Nice to have something to make me

It cost a million to make, and the whole campaign - all those TV slots - cost seven million.

JL have the stuffed toy for £95 for anyone interested.

I watched it. Not overly impressed with it and thought it was a bit too long.

Granny23 Surely we can talk about all sorts of frivolous or mundane things without forgetting and / or caring about the terrible things. Should we all be miserable all the time ?

Heard on the radio it cost 7 million

posie you are quite right, just shows how these adverts suck you right in and turn your normally sensible brain to mush...

I like it, too. Grandaughter is a penguin fan so no doubt we'll be YouTube-ing it to death!

I love penguins!!

I'm a sucker for shameless manipulation at Christmas which I can manage to enjoy despite being concerned about the terrible things happening in the world.

I love it and I like the music!

I think it is lovely! Let's not over-think these things
