I'm not currently parked in a zone where I can shop at Iceland, but when I read on Twitter that their Christmas ad was banned, I wondered why - and I fail to understand why anyone would decide to ban this ad.
If we don't take better care of Mother Earth, most living creatures will die a horrible death all too soon.
If this was banned to not upset greedy bipeds who, from their desks, thousands of miles away from the places they order reaped apart, could object to being named and shamed (but they're not named and shamed in this ad; only the abject practice of destroying things to make more money is denounced), it just shows that some people are just spineless.
This ad could show some people - and children - how wrong most palm oil is.
There's nothing wrong with people caring and shopping responsibly.
I want to believe* that most bipeds can be better than greedy beasts (especially if properly educated)...
*: I'm probably way too optimistic...I know...

I am in a place where I can go to Iceland, and while I applaud their stance on palm oil and am glad to find more places to go that have palm oil free goods I am not a fan of the advert, in the UK we have tradition of heartwarming family focused adverts for Christmas (go look at the john lewis ones for the last few years and others) this one just offends, cutesy images with a happy happy ending that misses the message about Iceland and is patronising about its message of save the forests :-( I know I am not in the majority and have been bah humbuged over this once already but I think the only way this advert has any effect is by being banned for being mildly political!
ah meh if it gets the message out, just please no more for me!
