Same and same!
If it comes down to people kicking up a fuss about people of a skin colour being featured in a christmas ad, we should probably focus on the twitter users who assumed their religion more than the tesco ad itself.. that seems like the bigger story here.

or the bigger story is Tesco knowing idiots would kick up a fuss, and get their ad on every news program while they talk about how inclusive and progressive Tesco is. not to be cynical or anything...

I mean, I don't think Tesco are above publicity stunts, but I don't think thats what they aimed for here. I just watched the ad, and yeh, we were kinda right. Just Twitter users getting upset after they, personally, assumed the religion of paid actors. I think the Twitter users are more of a newsworthy story than the ad tbh!

I have no idea. I'd like to think that there wasn't many more than 2 twitter users who assumed someones religion and then got upset because they did so, but I could be wrong.
