I've just seen the Asda advert myself and it's actually made me more angry thinking about it. Let's think about the spiralling cost of living and the ever increasing food costs, possibly impacting Greedy's followers quite hard (given what her account was originally about - council house decorated on a budget, etc...before the ebegging started for items her followers were unlikely to afford). So Asda obviously have to pass on that increasing cost, yet have likely spent millions, if not 10s of millions on getting the rights to use Elf in their ad...then are paying instabeggers to advertise the advert. So now the ever increasing cost of basic foods also have to recoup the costs of adverts and paying the ebegging huns.
If Asda know how hard it is but want people to have a special Christmas, why not have a very basic ad and focus on providing the goods for a low cost Xmas meal and treats rather than competing with other stores (especially those with customers who typically have a higher disposable income) over Xmas adverts?
