John Lewis television advertisement

The latest John Lewis advertisement.
Reportedly costing £6million ? Generated much media coverage and has provoked much criticism.
Comparisons have been made with the 2007 television advertisement by Italian lingerie company Calzedonia - and indeed the two advertisements do appear very similar.
Wish I'd never seen the John Lewis example.

As a researcher and collector of all things flocked it was great to come across a range of Timpo flocked zoo animals yesterday. Dated to c.1956 these little fuzzy covered lead animals have seen better days as their fur coats are rubbed and the odd leg is bent. However, they stand as great examples of toys that were cleverly designed to appeal. The camel looks great in its fawn flock covering. Manufactured by Timpo these examples predate their plastic counterparts.

Splenda - artificial sugar. These little individual servings of sweetner offer witty comments on the sides of their packs. A variety of examples were found in a cafe's sugar bowl - Sweet and Lo have done the same too.

Clever to add a touch of type with a quick message to sweeten the pack too.

The Sun newspaper's front cover on election day has Cameron in Obama-style design.
Fairey's election/leader design has become a fast classic.

Treat provider rather than official sponsor = emotive language.
