M&S - is it right or down - syndrome ? 24.09.12

thank you M&S,
my poem i will expose,
while watching bbc breakfast,
i saw the new advert for Stuart Rose.
one lovely mum,
with her beautiful son on show,
i really hope M&S do well,
and sales are huge and glow.
i do have a concern,
but it is minute,
that every company uses this recipe,
and copy cat tactics we can not salute.
a more-just world,
showing there are equal opportunity's,
we are all the same,
M&S are reaching out to all community's.
well done M&S,
now on my shopping do i get a deduction,
could poetry be your next advert,
i personally think Seb White will be taking the next instruction.


( i was watching the morning news this morning and i saw Seb White with his mum talking about the new advert he is in to promote M&S. i just wondered what everyone else thought of it ? will it make M&S sales go through the roof ? i really hope it does.ps - i sent this to M&S and they have given me a life long free shopping with them lol )

From what I glean from the OP - yes and the OP thinks it's shoddy marketing by M&S.

Why this is a problem / issue for the OP - I have no idea.

Far as I'm aware, people with Downs Syndrome are also consumers, same as those who may be deaf, blind, suffer from Aspergers, in wheelchairs etc - I'd say that M&S are showing they welcome everyone - regardless - plus it's good that employment to actors/actresses with Downs syndrome are being given work.

Well it is nice to see someone with a disability in an advertising campaign, kudos to them hopefully more companies will follow suit.

Exactly, they eat and wear clothes too so what's the problem :crazy:

The scary thing part is : they eat as well, they drink, they buy presents, they have homes to furnish.

god forbid !!!!! :shocked:

If anyone with any form of disability who is able to work, wants to work and is being given work - all helping the £1 spin round and generate to the economy - more power to them. I'm delighted to see this.

Mind you I've actually seen the new M&S adverts, and though they didn't appeal to me at all: I never even noticed anyone with Downs Syndrome: so if it's true, I'll take that as an absolute positive that nothing seemed out of place in my eyes when I saw the ad.

Ahhhh ban them all

Ahhhh ban them all

You cant do that...... half the adverts are better than the programmes!

Or do you mean M&S only.....yeah, ban them coz their current ones are cack !!

TBF, I don't think no one 'trusted' what you were saying - more that we didn't see it as being anything untoward about it - well, me anyway.

Good on his mum for raising it - it worked - and he's a smashing looking wee fella full of smiles.
