I can confirm this, having seen them in the glamorous surroundings of the BSE BP garage. On an aside note, imagine being so desperaely insecure that a sandwich challenges your masculinity(not a go at you Lucan, a general observation). | |

Although, in all fairness, I reckon there's a fair few big-brand social media monkeys that are DYING to reply like that to divs. | |

Particularly the ranter who has the conversation with a parody account in the first place. I’d missed all this, but apparently there was a bit of a ding dong a few days ago when M&S released these sandwiches. It seems to have wound up insecure males, and even got Piers Morgan frothing. All good publicity for M&S I suppose. | |

Well your M&S etc don't release LBGQT sandwiches out of the kindness of their heart, do they. They trade in the outrage economy as much as the likes of Paul Watson. | |

This is nothing compared to the furore over all their Percy Pig sweets being made gelatine-free. | |

Yeah, if there's one thing you can say about dear old M&S is that they're reknowned for provocative PR stunts. | |

Of course. But apparently they’re also making substantial donations to kids at homeless vharities as part of this campaign. I struggle to see what’s wrong with that. Besides, anyone insecure enough to get wound up by a sandwich filling needs their head look at. | |

In all honesty I think it's an outrage. Why put Guacamole in there when they could have had gherkin? I'm a bit peckish actually and I've just eaten 5 Pepperamis. | |

Brands in general do it a lot - breaking it down to the simplest base, the more they can get people talking the more money they can make. The most effective way of doing this these days is to hijack LGBT etc. concerns to get gammons and earnest justice fighters arguing before Piers Morgan jumps in, pathetic and desperate as ever to make himself part of the news cycle, all the while making said brand a tidy sum. | |

This sounds like some next-level paranoia. | |

You're right, it's not like they just re-started their famous "food porn" adverts is it. | |

You'd have to be a pretty special case to be thinking there's owt offensive there. Oh hang on, who am I talking to? | |

I don't think it's offensive but it is certainly intended to be provocative, as many adverts are these days. You're touchingly naive if you don't think "dear old M&S" are just as into making money as every other high street retailer is. | |

'Making money' is a lot different to 'desperately seeking controversy' though, innit? | |

Yes, but I am afraid they are very much the same thing these days. That's why Mail Online for instance is one of the biggest websites in the world. There are many many people who have realised that outrage sells. Marketing. | |

You're seriously telling me that the whole Pride thing is a conspiracy by the advertising industry to sell sandwiches? | |

Because that's literally what I said. Very simply, for the hard of thinking, I state again; they don't do it out of the goodness of their hearts, they do it to make money either directly or through positive PR. | |
