I suppose it's like a couple who can't have kids. Christmas is largely thrown down our throats as being a magical time of year with ads showing kids opening their presents. Must be painful for them too.
I suppose my point is, you can't really get rid of ads like this without heading towards some dull as dishwater, generic, all inclusive claptrap.
Exactly, if one can be offended about something than we can all be about everything... What about poor people who cannot afford to buy their kids the xmas pressie they are seeing on TV? Separated people who know that their ex wife will probably do the Xmas meal for another family? and vice versa, women who really want to cook a xmas meal for their family, but their men have left their family to start a new life with someone else?
So many people have lost some relative and get perfect family pictures shoved in their face on TV all the time....
Really, being offended by something does not entitle you to anything.... otherwise its Libya and the innocence of muslims all over again
