The advert is sending the message to drink responsibly, which is obviously a good thing, but why is it representing women as needing men? Why is it saying what men should be like to meet women's expectations? Meh.

Best Christmas Ad of 2015?

An obvious choice, but this was my favourite. £7million to make, but did it raise enough awareness for the charity Age UK?

Does it Offend You, Yeah?

What do you think of this advert? It was the plan of The Church of England to screen the advert before the latest Star Wars films, released a week before Christmas.




Digital Cinema Media agency believed that those of other faiths or of no faith could be offended by the advert. Does that mean that no religion should be promoted? Is the message not universal even if the prayer is a Christian prayer? In light of recent terrorists attacks and the upcoming festive period, is prayer not for everyone?
