it’s a really summary of 2017 innit

especially if you add that mining the materials is harrowingly awful for both the environment and the workers (watch the documentary Behemoth about mining in china https://www.theguardian.com/film/2016/aug/21/behemoth-zhao-liang-review)

then also add the working conditions for the people who are phones being put together…

grim

cba seeing if this has been posted but I love this advert. It is the highlight of telly atm. Someone obvs got bunged 300 notes and told to make a Christmas ad.

Only just found out about this from about a month ago. Not sure if it’s intentionally meant to look like it was put together on budget of 5p but the whole thing is a cringefest.

Really don’t like Vodafone ripping of those old BT ads about a couple getting together interwined with telephony deals. Also disappointed Martin Freeman didn’t get with the black woman in the first ad and they replaced her with this other woman who has parties with butlers on beaches? Did I miss an instalment between them meeting at a train station and Tim stalking her on the beach?

There’s been a wedding one and a car park one. Don’t know about the timeline. I do know they’re horrendously fucking shit and completely unfunny, though.

Big fan of the new Tesco slogan - “Everyone’s welcome at Tesco”. Not like those discriminatory fucks down at Asda.

Fuck Tesco, obviously. But speaking of Asda, they seem to be using Live well with Asda or some similar patter. Looked a bit incongruous pasted up at the end of an advert for bottles of spirits at rock bottom prices.

Apart from Pusha T :heart: but why no Kanye?

It’s a reference to Shakespeare who he mentions earlier on and whose book sales never ended inspiring the likes of SCS and DFS years later.
