Covid Won’t Stop Santa
Tesco
Who doesn’t love a good Christmas ad? And what better way to showcase Christmas than reassuring the public that Santa will make it through the quarantine? Apparently, the unvaccinated see Tesco’s joy for Christmas as a conspiracy against the public. Over 1500 people complained to the UK Watchdogs of advertising that Santa was a ‘coercive’ force for the government. Damn them and their vaccine propaganda stated the grumbling public.
“We’ve currently received over 1,500 complaints regarding this ad,” said an Advertising Standards Authority spokesperson. “The large majority of complaints assert that the ad is coercive, and encourages medical discrimination based on vaccine status. We are currently carefully reviewing these complaints to determine whether there are any grounds for further action.” Source Guardian
Medical discrimination? Surely not. ‘Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now’ belts the soundtrack…apart from anti-vaxxers that is.
