It's that time of year again...

Having admitted last year's Man on the Moon Christmas ad was a bit sad, John Lewis have come out with a lighter one https://youtu.be/sr6lr_VRsEo featuring Buster the Boxer.

Just watched that before coming here...amazing CGI. How do they do that?

Big computers? Apparently Buster is a real dog, with CGI enhancement, all the other animals are pure animation.

Cool ad! I've got rather weary of John Lewis's touchy-feely emotional shortcuts during the last few Christmases, but that one hits the spot. Really excellent. Why, I could almost (but not quite...) forgive them for putting it out ahead of Remembrance Day.

Will it make me want to rush out to JL and buy (a) a dog, (b) a badger, (c) a couple of foxes? I rather doubt it. A trampoline? Also dubious. But if we're talking about getting JL's name out there, this'll do nicely. Beats the shallow consumerism of the House of Fraser ad, that's for sure.

Pro-fox, pro-badger, pro-ethnic diversity, pro-grey (grey!) squizzle, pro-hedgehog, and I've just got a Sports Direct 'Price Buster' email detailing that very trampoline for only £69.99 (animals not included) so pro-Sports Direct.

Controversial, very controversial.

Love it! I'll be getting a trampoline for our foxes!

Trampolines for foxes what a great idea - it'll make potting them that much harder - more sporting somehow

It didn't take long for this spoof to come out...

All credits go to Shambler in 'the old place' for spotting it.

Just brilliant, Bree. The wife came rushing in to find out why I was laughing so hysterically. That one's going to go round like wildfire, methinks.
