It isn't the birth of Christ. wiki: The name 'Christmas' comes from the Mass of Christ (or Jesus). A Mass service (which is sometimes called Communion or Eucharist) is where Christians remember that Jesus died for us and then came back to life.
Adjoa Andoh said `terribly white', not very white. That’s rather an important distinction. Ofcom, of course, did nothing despite there being over 8,000 complaints.
What do you expect ofcom to do? Fine her? They can’t do anything except advise ITV stop using her and ITV makes a lot of money so it doesn’t matter what they say. GBN doesn’t and promotes hate like that far more often, that’s the difference.

Would you be happy to see mass redundancies just because you dislike this advert, or the business? Easy solution, don't watch the advert and shop elsewhere.
Yeah, the Asian boy, followed at 4:23 by a quick glimpse of a black guy. In the old days these festive ads made you feel good but now it's the opposite 🤷♂
If you watch the full ad, (the one they show here is cut for timing) in the begining she goes in to the store, there are men in the background shopping...
Did he even watch the commercial I just watched??? It's seems he did not. There is a slightly longer commercial that is not cropped for timing. In that one in the ad's begining the main character enters a store. There were men in it shopping. They may have been in the background and had no lines but who really cares. It's a good commercial, just not one of John Lewis' better Christmas commercials...
People slating the advert don’t understand it Watch it 2-3 times the kitchen scene she asks her mum let’s do it again and she replies she can’t implying she is no longer alive. A few golden eggs in the deep layered advert
@@Benlovescheese Desperate nonsense. John Lewis/Waitrose advertising and literature is always full of woke, multi-culti propaganda. Even the customer food dividers on the conveyor belt have rainbow BS propaganda during alphabet month. Some staff wear silly rainbow coloured name badges. There wasn’t a single black, brown, rainbow coloured person in that advert. That wouldn’t happen by accident. It reeks of desperation.
Apart from the men in the advert, in the Christmas party lounge scene where the sister is pregnant. Or the boyfriend the sisters kissing in the bedroom. Or the male vocals singing through the track. Nope no men. Plonker.

“There’s NO men” in a story about 2 sisters!! 🙄 Do people actually take what these people say seriously? It’s like watching an episode of ‘Drop the dead donkey!!’
Good ad in my opinion, who cares if there are no men in it, not as if men are rushing off to John Lewis all the time anyway. The Verve song in it is really great , a classic that I'd forgotten about
If you watch the full ad, (the one they show here is cut for timing) in the begining she goes in to the store, there are men in the background shopping...
The ad isnt too bad,seen much worse...not many people celebrate the birth of jesus,so what if there are no men,must be loads of adverts with no women.......trying to make news out of non stories
I don't think this is as bad as boots advert but its still not a good advert, doesn't really create a warm family loving vibe which Christmas represents. I like the idea of two sister who love each other but instead of going for a joyful message they just have a woman running about. I can see how it confused people as they keep changing the age of her sister one minute she a little girl then a teenager then a pregnant adult then back to a teenager and then back to a little girl, doesn't really flow very well. It makes Christmas seem all about money and chaotic searching for a gift rather then the magical joy of a traditional Christmas. I think there 2011, 2012 and 2014 advert are some of the best.
There must have been a meeting where they agreed the advert would include a xxxx, a zzzz and a vvvv bbbb, but no yyyy's then management signed it off. That must have been some meeting!

Will we ever see an advert again where it shows "mum" making the gravy and "dad" falling asleep while the kids are outside playing in the snow?Then granny comes with all the pressies and they all sit for dinner?Or is it really now just about how lesbians they can cram in 30 seconds?
just seen the jl add and just put this in the comments. i normally look forward to the jl most yrs its not but, man on the moon and stuff but this yr usual story its mostly every single person pretty much is female even on the little pic there would be a huge uproar if this was the other way around - shame on john lewis for this behaviour its not wise when this happens doing this anti men garbage because it will cost sales from all the other guys out there who this annoys it can even cause companies to close down.
I am finding this so called Radio Station, that seems to be struggling to survive, by putting sport on at the weekend, and so opinionated, should it loose its licence?
I like it as a crazy lifestory episode but nothing really to do with shopping or Christmas! I've seen many better TH-cam videos showing the Christmas decorations and foods that would inspire me to shop. Personally I'm getting more and more concerned about the excessive grooming going on by businesses pushing the woke adgenda instead of entertaining and selling!
I’m not particularly bothered if the ad doesn’t feature a man prominently if one wouldn’t add much to the narrative as seems to be the case here. But of course if the direction was to avoid men in the advert on principle that’s just bitter sexism disguised as progressivism.
If you watch the full ad, (the one they show here is cut for timing) in the begining she goes in to the store, there are men in the background shopping...
Have you been in a John Lewis store lately? Devoid of customers. Cheap goods. Expensive prices. Pick 'n' Mix, for goodness sake. The same road as Woolworths, Debenhams, C&A, (remember them?) etc. etc. etc.

Boots and now John Lewis. No surprise that a company that pushed chest binders for children to its staff made an advert with no men in it.
I think that there was a male involved at 04:40, but you can never be sure.

No men for fear of upsetting female single parents.

Of course it is… we’ve also got Santa with a blk Mrs Claus 😂
What the heck is that all about!
Some pointless 💩I think 🤔🤔
Love Mike's sense of humour ❤
Absolute rubbish, not a hint of Christmas shame on you John Lewis
Well to be honest most men dont turn up at Christmas until the xmas dinner is on the table so not a totally inaccurate depiction
They are probably to busy working earning the money which pays for the Christmas dinner and presents
Possibly the worst, most boring, feminised, unfestive xmas advert ever
Ohhh nooo, girls....
ah the good old days when adverts were fun and made sense.
All the men are still at work these women work for the public sector and only go to the office on thursday

The people who run John Lewis just don’t get it, Christmas comes but once a year so fcuking leave it alone and keep it traditional.
I wouldn't guess what store was advertised and for what ocassion?
It's obvious, isn't it? Homebase!
The fact that the John Lewis ad is bereft of diversity suggests that it’s desperate for customers and probably on its last legs.

there was an asian lad as her boy friend in her room . so there was 1 man in it.Its like wheres wally but for men lol
Women do 80-85% of all Christmas shopping. They plan. Men dive in at the last minute so why would you focus on them.
These advertisers do more preaching at their (captive) audiences than any priest ever does 😪💤💤💤
Captive audience? Does your remote not work?
I quite like the John Lewis one, it told an affectionate story without being mawkish. The Boots one on the other hand makes me want to vomit!

So your proposal is to have every business do the same ad? Or do we just do one ad and let a different business insert their name on each showing?
If this was a Christmas ad then where's the Christmas music where's the men what the fuck
Wtf
These Xmas tv adverts are completely out of control. They’ve lost their minds, what the hell do they think they’re playing at? This is crap!
Laying off staff and changing the rules on redundancy so they can get rid of them on the cheap.
