@justanambulance Why do think everyone's moaning at you, for the sick comment you made....huh? It's because your wrong, sick and twisted, it's people like you that give the UK a bad name.
And you intelligent????.......After the comments you made, i don't think so, i think a toddler with Down's is more intelligent then you
@Tomolfc95 I don't know why you think this is relevant to the racism being discussed. You haven't understood the argument for racism. You are equivalent to this: LOL PHYSICS IS STUPID HOW DOES GRAVITY PULL THINGS WITHOUT A ROPE IT'S DUMB AS SHIT STEPHEN HAWKING IS STUPID HOW CAN TIME NOT BE CONSTANT FOR EVERYONE THAT'S LIKE SAYING IT'S NOT THE SAME TIME HERE AS NEXT DOOR LOLOLOLOL PHYSICS IS STUPID SCIENCE IS STUPID FOR DUMB PEOPLE.
@Tomolfc95 I'm bored of your piss-poor comebacks. My life is full of meaning, I have a great girlfriend and am enjoying my degree. Why are you on youtube?
@justanambulance 1 comeback... not plural, in comparisant to you who is having an argument with several people over a advert!! and is being fairly rude and insulting about it.
@Tomolfc95 Your first comment was in response to my explanation of racism that you failed to understand. You should learn to type, dumbcunt. I'm only replicating the hostility thrown at me by morons who don't bother reading what I say and feel the need to chirp in with a fallacious little "gem" of advice. I bet you've never won an argument before in your life, you're awful at this.
@justanambulance u act like you know me so let me do the same... you are the kind of guy who seeks satisfaction by making people feel inferior to u or as you call it 'winning', you do this because you are actually quite a insecure person who probally cant express his oppinion to people with them listening unless you shout and swear. your insecurity has reached such a level that you feel the need to tell us all how well you did at school and how well you are doing but you just sound pathetic TBH
@catfacesilverdale By the way it waasnt christmas eve wen i wrote it and what the fuck are you doing fucking repling back your doin the exact same thing bitch :p
@aidenmckinnon Nope, the smiths version was better. The smiths also did many better songs than this. There are lots of bands better than the smiths. They all released loads of really good songs. There are thousands of songs better than this one.
@SEB1991SEB It says in the description, also you could google it instead of embarrassing yourself in front of the whole internet. Are you fucking mentally retarded or something?
@justanambulance Lol, oh yeah, I didn't see it in the description, I barely skimmed over that anyway. As for googling it, it was much quicker and easier to come on here and ask.
@SEB1991SEB That should have been your first port of call. No, asking on here and waiting for a reply was much more long-winded and computationally more complicated than just googling it. You're dumb as fuck if you think otherwise.
A reference to the advert they ran the other year.. where dog was kept in a kennel outside and in the snow. And as the UK is meant to be a nation of animal (pet) lovers it upset the doggy brigade and animal lovers here... so the comments are probably a reference to that.
@justanambulance is ur answer to everything 'thats racist'? The word that upset me was the C word. And I want to be an athlete so I work hard academically but don't need stunning marks ; I need to train hard too.
I would have enjoyed it if it had been a black boy or an Asian boy,I just loved the story.Why do people have to see racism in everything?
Iam white but I lots of Black and Asian friends and I love them to bits and if anyone abuses them I am the first one to stand and be counted.I just don't understand why we cannot just all accept who we are as I and my friends do?
@TheKumiko66 look at the racial make-up of the UK and you will see that apart from a few ethnically cleansed areas such as Birmingham and Manchester - the UK is actually very white hence we don't feel the need (or desire) to have token Afro-Carribeans or Latin Americans featured in John Lewis adverts!
How the hell did this get to be racist? Because it shows a white boy? I couldn't care what colour the boy was it is just a lovely story,I have friends from all cultures.Please just see it for what it is,just a nice story,nothing more.Ita has nothing to do with racism.
I'm confused. How did an advert about a boy wanting to give his parents a gift - give NOT recieve - turn into a debate about race??? Debate about how unselfish he is being. sheesh.
Fantastic captures the thing thats missing in our press, the true nature of people. I love John Lewis the whole shopping experience. This advert captures that magic....
Ignoring all the previous fuss, had to say this kids facial expressions are pretty impressive, how is it this kid isn't a big child star? (especially when you consider the talent bar for most child actors lol)
Boring 1950's based crap I grew up with. Wake up to the world the way it is now. This kind of sentimental social engineering is what the 1% want us to swallow. Buy love with a gift.
@doublewidemedia And the rubbish you just spouted is the tedious right-on drivel I kept hearing from left wings idiots when I was a student. Do yourself a favour and grow up.
@justanambulance 1. Dont use that word, it's a idiotic word used by idiots who have no respect for females or anyone and every one it may offend. 2. I have a great education at a great school, averaging As and Bs. I am 11 and don't like that sort of language.
@Thenewzboyof2000 Which word has upset you so much? "leave us fucking alone" < Nice little bit of hypocrisy there. As and Bs aren't good enough, why aren't you averaging straight A*s like I did? Don't say you're not naturally smart, intelligence comes from effort, fact.
Oh well, obviously trolls and retards come in all shapes, sizes and colour. I'm black and no way in the world is this advert racist!
Too bad a lot of 'us' moan and groan at anything; proclaiming racism. Well get off your ridiculously daft & lazy behinds and start filming the stuff you want to see.
@cityhermitus Thanks! It's a shame that a lot of 'us' hide behind the racism cloak. As a 'newbie' filmmaker I come across this a lot coupled with the "Oh let's blame slavery for our issues", yet the people complaining can't even mention the 'notable' dates that have anything to do with slavery... duh!
How is this video racist? I'm white and I don't particularly care for black people but I don't care for this advert either. There's no racism and it doesn't do anything for me. It's rubbish and unrealistic. You PC thugs should get a life instead of seeing racism in everything, it's okay to not like black people. I mean, they're generally morally bankrupt and struggle to sleep at night. Political correctness gone mad.
@ninjabaztard2 Having a disproportionate number of white people in adverts is racist. If a company hired whites exclusively, they would clearly be racist. You're dumb as shit.
@ninjabaztard2 So you just happen to come along and watch a video that I'm commenting on, read a few comments, and then present a sack of shit attempt at an argument against the point I'm arguing in favour of? This isn't a coincidence, you miss me and need to be arguing with me. How will you sleep at night without me, when (never going to happen) you actually go like you've been saying you will for days?
seriously you need to learn: if you say that this is racist, then you are racist. from what i gather people are saying "it's racist because the family is white and not any other ethnicity" well i'll tell you something buddy, the minute you assume something is racist, you are the one who came up with that idea! therefore you are the racist!!! all you people are just a bunch of guys over thinking things and coming up with moronic things like how this is racist, the racism is on your hands!!!!!!!!!
@ninjabastard2 Having a disproportionate number of white people in adverts is racist. If a company hired whites exclusively, they would clearly be racist. Counter? Your piss-poor attempt at logic is so fucking awful here, it's like I'm on a creationist message board or something.
@catfacesilverdale does that mean something with a disproportionate amount of black poeple is also racist? or are you filled with nothing but double standards?
@ninjabastard2 So you just happen to come along and watch a video that I'm commenting on, read a few comments, and then present a sack of shit attempt at an argument against the point I'm arguing in favour of?

@ninjabastard2 Having a disproportionate number of white people in adverts is racist. If a company hired whites exclusively, they would clearly be racist.
@KevinORRRR I was gonna look up the begining of that converastion but after reading your comment I will as well give up! Thanks for saving some of my time
@Randomwowwow Seriously, give it up and get a life! No one cares if this video is racist or not, just fuck off and stop acting like a bunch of children. Its pathetic.
I don't know if it's because of the beautiful version of one of my favourite ever songs or because the wee boy reminds me of my son but something about this advert really cuts me up.
@catfacesilverdale why are you still commenting on this issue? Surprisingly you did not answer my last comment to you a few weeks ago - is that because I am right and that you are a fat, ignorant white bloke trying to be black?
@gregdavids Because I can. I must have missed it, as you don't get notifications for every comment. I'm in very good shape, and I'm black. You're racist, and you don't understand the issue being discussed here. I'm smarter than you.
@catfacesilverdale you fella, are a total twat - I am also black; so in your tiny little mind do you think i am still racist? Honestly, you are an angry disgrace to our color!
@gregdavids Hahaha, you don't understand what racism is, blacks can be racist too. My mind is much larger than yours, you're dumb as shit and don't even have a degree. If you think it's acceptable for whites to be racist towards blacks then you're just as bad, yeah. I'm not angry.
@catfacesilverdale grow up knob. You are talking shit and continue to embarrass yourself with your nonsense comments and views! No one is impressed and frankly if you are degree educated then I suggest they gave you one as a consolation prize - lets face it, you are not very clever are you?
@SupaDesigns Who the fuck asked for your opinion? That's what's wrong with society, cunts like you think they can chip in with little "gems" of advice and make a difference to something. I've read your comment, but nobody else has. As I said, I'm smarter than anyone here. I got a first, Oxford don't do consolation prizes. What are your qualifications? Given that you play minecraft, I'm thinking you're not the most academic person ever...
@MentalMiniman Having a disproportionate number of white people in adverts is racist. If a company hired whites exclusively, they would clearly be racist. How does this FACT suggest I'm anything other than smart and insightful? You need to open your eyes a bit more, don't just assume there isn't racism because it's not obvious.
@catfacesilverdale You are SO stupid its unreal! Ok so, 95% of people in the UK are white. John Lewis, are targeting the majoraty. Put 2 and 2 together. I'll leave the rest for you ;)
@MentalMiniman You don't know that, that's an arbitrary guess, I know the actual percentages, it's part of my job. There are less black people in adverts than there would be if there was racial equality. You don't understand statistics. Why is "targeting the majority" relevant? Why would a non-racist white person not buy a product advertised by black actors? It's not as simple as "Lie, bullshit consequence, fallacious argument, conclusion that wouldn't follow anyway, try to act cocky.".
@catfacesilverdale haha you're funny "You don't know that, that's an arbitrary guess" actually, i just studied this in geography and the percentage is more like 98% of the UK are white, so yeah...i do know that ;) you're clearly an idiot..of course it's relevant! They are aiming their advert at the majoraty of the British population. Therefore, they are trying to depict a typical British family and considering 98% of the UK are white i think having a white family is quite a fair representation!
@catfacesilverdale mmm Oxford first? I think not given the type of language you tend to prefer to use - more a Kellogg certificate you cut out off the back of a cornflakes box! You really are a thick shit, aren't you?
@gregdavids Well done for avoiding my question. From this I can deduce that you don't have a 1st from Oxbridge. Never mind, you can always stack shelves. I'm much smarter than you, and I've shown this repeatedly by consistently outsmarting you in new and interesting ways.
@gregdavids omg gregdavids THANK YOU :D haha i honestly dont understand what is going on in this guys head but it isnt common sense i can tell you that! im so glad to see other sane people in our society :)
@neekface You don't understand why this is racist. Try understanding before trying to derive humour. HAHAHA THE UNIVERSE JUST CAME OUT OF NOTHING AND EXPLODED WHAT A LOAD OF NONSENSE STEPHEN HAWKING IS DUMB AS FUCK IF HE THINKS THAT LOLOLOLOL!!!!!ONE!!!11!!!!!!1!!!!!!
@gregdavids Ah, the old "most people are white here so we can use disproportionately few black actors in our adverts" argument. You don't know what "predominantly" means, using it then was a gamble. Ooh, three adjectives in a row, I've never seen that before. You must be a literary genius or something. Why shout?
@Thenewzboyof2000 Ah, the old "most people are white here so we can use disproportionately few black actors in our adverts" argument. You're an idiot, the least intelligent people here have used that argument. It stems from a lack of education.
@Thenewzboyof2000 For cunt's sake, have you not been following the comments? It would be superficially less racist with a black family. Again, under different circumstances, it would be just as racist to have a black family. The imbalance makes it racist, not the colour. You don't know the difference between your and you're.
@gregdavids "piss off back to where you or your predecessors come from", from a virgin trying not to be racist. I'm white so I'll stay here, depending how arbitrarily far back you wish to go down up my family tree. My comments are insightful, they just come across as perhaps boring and unintelligent to you because you clearly don't understand any of the points I'm making. Open your mind, dumbcunt.
Totally spellbinding , just imagine what it would be like to get what you really wanted, just once, for all other stupid thoughts, that's what dreams are for.
How is this advert racist? It shows a kid waiting to give his parents his present on Christmas day. It just shows how bad it has gotten that you can't even watch a simple advert without somebody going on about racism. Whoever is going on about racism is just calling the kettle black because you are being racist to white people saying you can't have a white family in a advert.
@SoRandomAmber NOBODY IS SAYING THAT YOU CAN'T HAVE WHITES IN ADVERTS. THE IMBALANCE AND LOSS OF JOB OPPORTUNITY FOR BLACKS IS WHERE THE RACISM LIES. I'M A STATISTICIAN AND I KNOW THAT A DISPROPORTIONATE AMOUNT OF ADVERT ACTING JOBS GO TO WHITES. END.
@blahblah1234blahblah I think it's a post-modern ad because it doesn't advertise any specific product information - it plays with emotions and entertainment, and relies on brand recognition in the end.
Why do people insist at looking deeper into things and cannot just take something as it is???
This is a simple but very clever advertising campaign from one of the biggest retailers in the UK who will have done their research on their customer demographic profile and created accordingly, that is is!
Anyone who thinks this is racist etc needs to get a grip and more importantly get a life!!!!!!!!!!

seriously you need to learn: if you say that this is racist, then you are racist. from what i gather people are saying "it's racist because the family is white and not any other ethnicity" well i'll tell you something buddy, the minute you assume something is racist, you are the one who came up with that idea! therefore you are the racist!!! all you people are just a bunch of guys over thinking things and coming up with moronic things like how this is racist, the racism is on your hands!!!!!!!!!

@ninjabastard2 Having a disproportionate number of white people in adverts is racist. If a company hired whites exclusively, they would clearly be racist. Counter? Your piss-poor attempt at logic is so fucking awful here, it's like I'm on a creationist message board or something.

@catfacesilverdale does that mean something with a disproportionate amount of black poeple is also racist? or are you filled with nothing but double standards?

@ninjabastard2 So you just happen to come along and watch a video that I'm commenting on, read a few comments, and then present a sack of shit attempt at an argument against the point I'm arguing in favour of? This isn't a coincidence, you miss me and need to be arguing with me. How will you sleep at night without me, when (never going to happen) you actually go like you've been saying you will for days?

@MentalMiniman Having a disproportionate number of white people in adverts is racist. If a company hired whites exclusively, they would clearly be racist.

@catfacesilverdale You are SO stupid its unreal! Ok so, 95% of people in the UK are white. John Lewis, are targeting the majoraty. Put 2 and 2 together. I'll leave the rest for you ;)
MentalMiniman 1 month ago
@MentalMiniman You don't know that, that's an arbitrary guess, I know the actual percentages, it's part of my job. There are less black people in adverts than there would be if there was racial equality. You don't understand statistics. Why is "targeting the majority" relevant? Why would a non-racist white person not buy a product advertised by black actors? It's not as simple as "Lie, bullshit consequence, fallacious argument, conclusion that wouldn't follow anyway, try to act cocky.".

@catfacesilverdale haha you're funny "You don't know that, that's an arbitrary guess" actually, i just studied this in geography and the percentage is more like 98% of the UK are white, so yeah...i do know that ;) you're clearly an idiot..of course it's relevant! They are aiming their advert at the majoraty of the British population. Therefore, they are trying to depict a typical British family and considering 98% of the UK are white i think having a white family is quite a fair representation!

@gregdavids Ah, the old "most people are white here so we can use disproportionately few black actors in our adverts" argument. You don't know what "predominantly" means, using it then was a gamble. Ooh, three adjectives in a row, I've never seen that before. You must be a literary genius or something. Why shout?

@Thenewzboyof2000 Ah, the old "most people are white here so we can use disproportionately few black actors in our adverts" argument. You're an idiot, the least intelligent people here have used that argument. It stems from a lack of education.
justanambulance 1 month ago
@Thenewzboyof2000 For cunt's sake, have you not been following the comments? It would be superficially less racist with a black family. Again, under different circumstances, it would be just as racist to have a black family. The imbalance makes it racist, not the colour. You don't know the difference between your and you're.

@gregdavids "piss off back to where you or your predecessors come from", from a virgin trying not to be racist. I'm white so I'll stay here, depending how arbitrarily far back you wish to go down up my family tree. My comments are insightful, they just come across as perhaps boring and unintelligent to you because you clearly don't understand any of the points I'm making. Open your mind, dumbcunt.

How is this advert racist? It shows a kid waiting to give his parents his present on Christmas day. It just shows how bad it has gotten that you can't even watch a simple advert without somebody going on about racism. Whoever is going on about racism is just calling the kettle black because you are being racist to white people saying you can't have a white family in a advert.

This is a simple but very clever advertising campaign from one of the biggest retailers in the UK who will have done their research on their customer demographic profile and created accordingly, that is is!
