The child must be a real pain for the neighbours continuously banging his hands and feet .

Have it on good authority the gift in the box is a Sub in a box from Singletrack.

It's a very, very clever advert.

They don't sell bikes though, do they?

Erm.. I think it's average.

The box is full of disapointment, easy to give, easy to wrap.

Hahaha

I would have thought it is obvious. He gets sexually aroused at the thought of Christmas.

I could do with some help here. Clearly people are seeing something in that which I'm not.

I quite like the JL version.
Still prefer the original though.

Its a bit of a jerker, a tear jerker that is 😆
I'm a sensitive soul and suffered with a little dust in the eye, probably from the stove in the lounge 😥

current advert that's annoying me is the VW/Blue Motion music stave/stop motion/drawing animation with the special needs girl who cant hold her pen properly. I have visions of a 5yr old scribbling away with their tongue hanging out.

Oh and the so very healthy "two whole nuts" nutella ad. grrr.

I saw it for the first time this morning. I wanted to hate it, because I'd previously read about the use of the song, but had "slightly moist" eyes at the end.

John Lewis probably paid a squillion pennies for that advert, however it doesn't make me want to shop there.

I try and support small local businesses, who find it difficult to find a farthing in this recession for advertising.

I have just been told that it's inappropriate to link the Justin Timberlake "Dick in a Box" video. So I won't.

That actually really bugs me. How can they advertise their current service using a plane which provides a capability they no longer have? "We used to be this good, oh but sorry we're not any more". Fail.

I read this post a few days ago, and felt sorry for the soft headed folk.

However I didn't reply at the time - life is too short for arguing with eijets on the net.

However, Charlie Brooker has expressed my sentiments well enough - [url= http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/nov/20/christmas-adverts-john-lewis ]corrective reading for you.[/url]

An advert for a shop. That's all the John Lewis thing is, and as such it's no more moving than the "So Near, So Spar" campaign of the mid-1980s. Anyone who cries at this creepy bullshit is literally sobbing IQ points out of their body. Is this really what we've become – a species that weeps at adverts for shops? A commercial has only made me feel genuinely sad on one occasion – 25 January 1990, when a falling billboard nearly killed 'Allo 'Allo star Gorden Kaye.

That Charlie Brooker article today was excellent and what he said about that awful Littlewoods advert was spot on.

Wont be spending a penny at any of the shops I see advertising on TV.

Managing fine so far. Thank good for wooden toy shops on the web and Amble/Alnwick main streets. Does wiggle count though?

You lot must like your coffee up there. Seen there was a new one called Bari Cafe we used to talk about "bari" when I was at Thomas Percy. The outdoor shop is handy, jobsons, fair trade shop, even farmway for jules clothes for wife.

It's gone coffee shop mad but they've cleared out the charity shops. To be fair things have improved and some good shops appearing.

I thought it was his Sisters head he wrapped up, but thinking about it I now have come to the conclusion that it's Madeleine McCanns
