*preferably having used 8 lives.

I loved the ad the 1st time I saw it and was shocked to read some ppl had complained
I'm an animal lover but in no way did I think it was offensive with regards to animal resue organisations
Like someone previous said....some ppl need to get a life  |

Wash your mouth out young man! Marmite is nectar. Dripping into the holes on a hot crumpet. With cheese and pastry to make delicious cheese straws. A spoonful in hot water when you need to warm up. |

Only problem is though, as per another thread, common sense is in short supply these days. |

I'm on it. I've already announced to the real world that I am starting a petition against all the bloody petitions based around news stories. The Campaign for Commonsense (TCC) will be our triumph. Evie, you and I will get a Noble Prize for this.
Shall I start a petition? |

Does that make it uncommon sense then? We might have some branding problems. |

I can think of some people who might be upset if you cut out your tongue. I don't think they'd forgive me. |

"I reckon the people complaining work hard for these charities.
I wander how people would react if it had been mocking the cancer charity adverts?"
They probably do but I think their whinging about an advert trivialises their work more than the advert does to be fair.
If you can think of a way to parody a cancer advert to sell marmite then go for it.
It's not like they are saying eat marmite and don't give to any charity ever is it? |

It's lovely yum yum
As an Australian I am genetically pre-disposed to hating marmite. Has to be vegemite.
Vegemite smells funny."
so do Australians.
I first saw it by flicking channels and (in a war of the worlds way) thought it was a reality documentary until they reached the marmite jar punchline. So in that sense a brilliantly done advert. |

Generating a thread on Fab doesn't take much though. |

As long as someone or something somewhere is having/creating a laugh or a giggle someone will be taking convenient offence & complaining.
Politically correct over emotional sensationalists are on the rise |

More likely to be people getting offended on behalf of those who work for the charities...chances are those that work for the charities are glad to come across a bit of humour, or are too busy to take the time to complain! |

"on a related subject, just seen an ad for a new channel 4 comedy sketch show call 'I am spazticuz' how the hell are they getting away with that????"
They had a series last year. It's performed by disabled people. Unfortunately it was dire. I hope they have a better script writer now. |
