Yup. They might have been miffed that nobody had the foresight, so started the ball rolling. On the day that the new M&S boss is in the news...

This would be in addition to the stories about the launch of the new M&S ad which preceeded it of course...

Yup - though my Mum really likes him, which is embarrasing. For everyone
Yeah, but Mum's would like him, cheeky Oirishness and all that...

Yeah. Complaints get more headlines than press releases about adverts.

I've no evidence for it, nor any reason to assume it beyond my own hatred of the man. Nevertheless, I am confident that it is true.

Was trailed in farily large articles in the Hate, Telegraph and a couple of others last week...each M&S Xmas ad is an event, don'cha know?

Eight fucking people complain about something and they have to consider running an investigation.
Makes me fucking leak rage from every orifice it does.
The TV/Media/Whatever-the-fucks should only be launching investigations if over 50% of those people subjected to the "offending" article actually make a complaint.
So for TV, that would be - for the sake of argument - 51% of all registered TV license holders registering displeasure for any further action to be taken.
Fucking general public make me sick - FFS get a grip

What can you possibly have against Mylene?

In these cases, it's a couple of bods at the ASA sitting around, watching the ad, then saying 'It's not offensive as it's in keeping with previous M&S ad content' or something.

But regardless of the outcome, they still actually have to be seen to be pandering to these 8 sputum-flecked cuntmonkeys in the first place, which only serves to perpetuate the delusion that their opinions are somehow relevant and deserving of attention.
Perhaps lodging any complaint which is not upheld should incur some kind of state-administered penalty - preferably something painful and unhygienic - so as to discourage frivolity.

Yey! Let's 8 of us complain about something mad. What's the maddest thing we can complain about? The ad were the kid tries to put the scooter in the dishwasher?
What shall we say? Could lead to electrocution?

1. How many complaints did they have about said burd running around in her knickers when it was broadcast as a stand alone advert?
2. Its self depreciating humour innit. M&S taking the P out of their ludercrous past advert which had nothing logically to do with Christmas.
3. Its also taking the P out of chauvanists the same way Alf Garnet took the P out of racists (some stupid people didn't get it then either).
4. If we start worrying about showing a woman in her knickers how long until we pass a law banning bikinis? But we can see a woman's skin, its against nature I tells you!!!!
5. I'm slightly disturbed by the fact I think the woman is incredibly beautiful to look at, but I don't fancy her one jot. Beautiful in the same manner as a flower or a waterfall. You admire and enjoy the beauty but don't want to fuck it.

I don't have a TV subscription any more, so I am not au fait with the current crop of ads...
Perhaps we could complain about that one where the gorilla plays the drums along to that Phil Collins track. I mean, a gorilla playing the drums is pretty blasphemous.
Also I don't think it was a real gorilla. I think it might have been a man in a gorilla suit.

There are two ads on that link, one is the Wallace and Grommit, the other has that bloke from Ashes to Ashes. I can't find an offensive advert. Has it been removed?
