a Christmas advert slagging off Santa and saying he is old and lazy


why that is genius



(In June 2023, it announced a strategy to close 650 of its UK outlets. Since
then, hundreds of Boots stores have said their final goodbyes. By the end of
October, Boots will have closed 300 stores in 2024 – and, as of the end of
September, 290 of those have already shut.)

When was the last time Britain colonised anyone? You realise how many countries Portugal colonised? Maybe you don't.

Apparently my ancestors were colonisers but some were also colonised???

I feel like it’s the same for everyone tbh. We all have colonisers and the colonised in our blood

What was it Peter Lloyd said... Sticks and stones may break my bones but there will always be something to offend a far-right snowflake. Like an advert for a high street store

The far right scream woke this and snowflake that but this is the kind of **** that triggers them. A black woman in an advert

Laughable isn’t it

[Crimson Dynamo]

No wonder Boots is closing all its stores with idiots in charge who thought "yes this is a good idea"

OK Google, remind me of this thread towards the end of the the year when the Box Office figures are out.

[user104658]

This thread reads like satire. lol.

[bots]

the only adverts i see are when BB is on and i tend to zone out while they are on, so no outrage over here.

It is pretty simple to avoid adverts these days

Sometimes all it takes is a few black faces on an advert to have some stupid white people questioning if they’re in Africa. Crying that the world might not be white-dominated by 2060 as-if humans don’t originate from Ethiopia, as-if India and China alone don’t have the populations they have, as-if whities own the world and half the foreign products they use. This advert may or may not be about that but ignoramous stupidity from fragile, hopelessly stupid white people who think the world belongs to them absolutely exists.

I honestly don't think you're right on this. I think had it been any other black woman the backlash wouldn't have been so severe.

Still... I'm just a fragile, hopelessly stupid white person.

I did say I wasn’t necessarily talking about this video, Livia. I was talking in general. And as far as my general point is concerned, it is absolutely true. There’s no doubt about that. I’ve seen it undisguised with my own eyes enough times. Again, I wasn’t really talking about this video specifically.

Snowflakes definitely living up to their name this festive season

[bots]

the other thing is that CD, by creating this thread has increased their ROI so, ponder that

Well at least you can admit it
