Was thinking of starting a thread as well. Just saw it - it's bloody awful for lots of different reasons.

Crap version of the John Lewis one, done for about a tenth of the price...

I thought the same...talk about insulting to men!

What was it? Something like "Behind every great Christmas is a great Mum"?

Some sort of claptrap like that

It's stupid. I like the watching all the prep that goes into it. But no reason why the 'mum' has to do it

But I mainly hate it because I lost my mum v recently and the wording is just crappy for that.

it insults everyone who isnt a stereotypical family and ONCE AGAIN presents the classic nurturing mum at home is a good mum crap.

Dads dont feature because remember they " find it too hard" rolls eyes

its just like an advert from the 1950s

Ha fluffyragged - it IS the klan sending a subliminal message - 'woman, pull your finger out your arse or we will set you on fire.'

This link should work:
www.youtube.com/user/asda?feature=results_main

YANBU, it's a pile of rubbish. Why is everything left up to the mum? they are all a lazy bunch of useless articles in that house.

And, is it really acceptable now to suggest that men are so useless they can do almost nothing?

God that is just vile! Martyrish nonsense and doesn't resemble anything about my life.
Bad enough she's hoovering with the baby and wrapping the presents in shit paper, but then the pathetic excuse for a husband asks 'what's for tea love?'. Nauseating. Should end with a 'leave the bastard' voice-over Smile.

I saw that earlier. I actually quite liked it Blush

runs and never shows face on MN again

I don't know, I found it quite humorous and I suppose it reminded me of everything I end up doing at Christmas (except the dinner which DH does).

I get the sexist point people are making but I like the advert.

I thought it was the LAW that a member of loose women had to feature in all asda and Iceland adverts? [runs off to phone ofcom]

If my husband had been that fucking useless in the run up to Christmas, and then come out with the line "What's for tea love"? just as I'd sat down, I'd punch him. Then divorce him. Then maybe punch him a bit more.

What a pile of sexist shite.
