    "Can’t help but notice that a lot of the Christmas advertising this year is very much along the lines of “Wow it’s been an awful year, really tough for all of us, so go on, treat yourself this Christmas”
    That sums up marketing. They might as well put "Had a sh*t time? Stuff yourself silly and get bladdered then!"
    Mind you, not the catchiest of slogans!
    Now a gainfully employed bassist again - WooHoo!

    Yeah I don’t think Saatchi & Saatchi will be using that one.

    Agreed that there is nothing new about the marketing, all I meant was that this year in particular that sort of messaging could lead people into real trouble.

     Yeah I don’t think Saatchi & Saatchi will be using that one.  I feel they're missing a trick there :)  Totally agree with you.  No 'pushing' of healthy fruit'n'veg' though. Funny, that!
