She’s learnt well from Apple who will happily charge you £300 for four luxury limited edition paper spoons that play excerpts of ‘Hey Bulldog ’ as you use $299 limited edition deluxe honey (which play an excerpt of either ‘A Taste Of Honey ” or ‘Cry Baby Cry ’ even time the 25g jars are opened). 

I feel more more sorry for Jeremy, and everyone involved in creating ‘Yellow Submarine ’, for seeing their work appear in such an abomination of an advert. 

The song/music, whatever the hell it was meant to be, was dire and the clothes look ghastly and unwearable – which may be why they feature so little in the commercial. Folk may blindly purchase due to it being Beatles whereas if they actually get a good look they cancel their order and shop elsewhere.

You mean you don’t want a tacky, multicoloured, fake fur pimp coat, mmm? What about the long coat drenched in obnoxious, loud Beatles patches?

 

This is fashion, right?! 

  

The strangest thing is you never see anyone actually wearing these apparently fashionable, desirable outfits. Someone must so maybe it’s the thought of having it yet not wanting to look so utterly stupid when out. One of those where the knowledge of having something so expensive is worth shoving it at the back of a walk-in wardrobe – plus having more money than common sense.

What’s virgin wool? I’ll ignore posting jokes.

Don’t worry, I’ve probably thought of all of them too.

 

It’s the wool from the first sheering a lamb receives, the softest wool you can ever get. Now I know many sheep farmers so if Stella would like to buy the wool for mucho dolla, I would ask for a small monetary compensation to put her in contact with the fine gentlemen.

  

 Tell her the really good sheep farmers are incredibly rare yet highly in demand and therefore it will cost her £8k to meet one. If she questions the cost, pull out one of her coats; she’ll get the message and you’ll probably get a rude reply or a slap. It’s business. 

Tho you’d have to have one of her coats to do so. Erm, just keep the receipt and don’t let any sheep near it. 

You can order online. Modern technology is wonderful at helping you waste money you don’t have to spend on things you never wanted and will never use.

Need to try it on first, how will I know if my €500 jumper suits me or not? Can’t be bothered with those postal returns and I get to spend a fun day in Manchester…

  

Going by that commercial I’m not sure the jumper is meant to suit you. Far more fashionable to look stupid. 

 Show me that without telling me it was a Stella advert and I would have never guessed it was for clothes, more a Beatles cartoon meets live action concoction with a point I’m not too sure it’s making.

Presumably the people who buy this stuff don’t watch the adverts as they fail to inform you what they are actually selling – which I would have thought was kind of important but apparently not. 

To be fair to the creators, how would you make a perfume advert both interesting and relevant to the product? Clothes can have people dancing around looking happy as you can then see them; spraying perfume on someone/yourself just looks dull.

Suppose you can do that then show them going out but could it get more exciting? Not that having a celeb/model looking like they are constipated/angry/moody/sexy/bored is any better or more relevant.
