McVities Adverts

The regular adverts featuring cute animals that McVities are using have always niggled me......the idea that all we need is food to make us happy is a worry...there is also the whole idea of getting a puppy or a kitten the cheer you up that I find problematic. Having a pet of any sort is a huge responsibility and, especially nowadays, quite expensive.
However, the new Christmas one has, I feel, gone a long way to undo the great work done by the 'A Dog is for Life' campaign.
I'm no 'Bah humbug' and do enjoy all things Christmassy (once we are into December) but this advert really hits a nerve and I do wish McVities would come up with another theme.
