Not Your Typical Christmas Ad
It's popping up all over the web, but if you haven't already seen it, here is the Christmas advertisement from the British supermarket chain Sainsbury's.

Wow. Simply wow.
That was a spectacular movie.
An appallingly cynical marketing ploy and a new low.
My eyes are so wet I can hardly see. God bless Sainsbury's for a truly remarkable advertising accomplishment. So appropriate for the centenary.
