Sauasage in a Manger & Muslims in Christmas Advert

[Dave B]

Hah! The marketting tactics used by companies never cease to amaze me. One or more of them shoot themselves in the foot every year!

I actually sympathise a bit with the religionistas on this, the commercialisation of a few days, the (often unfulfilled) expectations, the peak in divorce applications . . . Judt let the believers get on with it and do your best to enjoy yourself and your family the whole bloody year!

Why, it was the believers who commercialized their silly holidays in the first place.  It's not as if advertising is a giant atheist cabal subverting their faiths.  Hell, when their traditions are taken -out- of advertising they're the first to scream bloody murder with war on christmas shit.

This -is- them "getting on with it".

Good point. Barring a few anchorites etc the whole xtian stoy has become industrialised and propagandarised. It has gained all the typical hype of a marketting campaign and the tactics of trying to gain the top market share.

A certain company's adverts were (when I had a TV) all I needed to alert me to the upcoming holiday and, er, get me into the seasonal spirit. Or maybe the seasonal spirit into me?






Oh, dear, another snag, try https://youtu.be/2FZuNALKt_0

I have grouse near me, they really are stupid to say there is a hunting season, one followed me all the way up a hill.
The whisky however is good

Yeah, like their cousins the pheasant. Working in an animal centre I just walked up and grabbed one, by the kegs,  off the top of a post whilst he stood there wondering which way to fly off to escape. Ditto peacocks (just giant pheasants really), watched one try to outstare a fox - it got an extreme close-up view of fox tonsils before I could get there.

Sorry, derailing . . .

But, which has more sense, a grouse or a fundamentalist religionista?
