Man on the Moon

British department store John Lewis has released their 2015 Christmas ad. It doesn’t make a bit of sense, but bring your hankie anyway, because it’s an obvious analogy (which went over the heads of many YouTube commenters, who want to argue about realism and physics). The music is “Half the World Away,” originally by Oasis, here performed by Aurora.

John Lewis has became known around the world for their heart-tugging Christmas campaigns. You might want to check out those from 2012, 2013, and 2014. This year’s campaign includes a fundraising effort for Age UK, an organization that works with the elderly. -via Buzzfeed

Cuimhne,

I actually would have bought one out of curiosity ... I just couldn't find where they sell it online! I'm a total sucker for gadgets that makes no sense.

I saw a TV clip one time of Asian people (I believe they were retail workers) in actual smiling classes where they were holding a pencil width-wise between their teeth (presumably to hold the corners of the mouth back in a broader smile.) It seems the bigger, wider, toothier smile is considered better and more welcoming (and probably "more American".)
