With all the current international turmoil, made worse by Donald Trump’s recent re-election as US president, one would think a modern Christmas TV advert wouldn’t attract controversy… but for some stupid reason, it has.
This year’s Boots Christmas ad has been attacked by some commentators as being “too woke”, while the casting of black actress Adjoa Andoh as Mrs Claus has triggered right whingers in both the mainstream media and online. I’ve seen the ad, and to he honest, I don’t see anything wrong with it. These idiots who are complaining about the ad are demanding that shoppers boycott the brand.
Naturally, most people look on this and they seriously couldn’t care less about the advert. They are more worried about such issues such as the cost of living crisis, ongoing political corruption, and the threats to the world’s economy.
