The John Lewis ad is a highlight of the year for some, but to me I love the spoofs or parodies that it inspires .

I have found my first one of the year on you tube.

It's a star wars Mash up. It's very funny.

Have you found any more?

Care to share the love?

I can't believe it cost £7,000,000 to make! Just think of how many of the elderly could have had present s with that money.

John Lewis is a cooperative.

And donates extraordinary amounts of money.

"John Lewis is a cooperative.

Which means the staff share in the profits. It's a good company to work for too.

I prefer the advert with the car destroying the house. No idea what it's trying to promote though.

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

"I can't believe it cost £7,000,000 to make! Just think of how many of the elderly could have had present s with that money. "

It didn't cost £7,000,000 to make. Most of the cost quoted is to buy the airtime to show the ad. The total marketing budget for this campaign is £7,000,000.

Yes, £7,000,000 would buy a lot of presents for the elderly but as the money was never going to be spent in that way it's a bit of a pointless argument. They do give large and small amounts to charity (not just through the token schemes in Waitrose, which is a nice £1,000 every month from every store to small local charities) and they have their welfare fund for sick and retired partners.
