2012's Christmas adverts

"Incredibly, Christmas – a festival in which a creepy old man labelled a saint by much of society dons outlandish clothing and promises to make children's dreams come true by sneaking silently into their homes at night – hasn't been cancelled in the wake of Savilegate. Nor are Britain's high-street retailers seeking to distance themselves from it. Quite the opposite in fact: they're openly advertising their enthusiasm for the yuletide period. It's a recipe for disaster come the inevitable public inquiry, currently scheduled for 2018. Still, in the meantime, we can enjoy their commercials for what they are: bullshit."
