Wow, Holly, what a shame that this was banned. It is a beautiful commercial. I googled and found this:
The story line might seem harmless enough, but the commercial wasn’t cleared this week to air on British TV because it was deemed to violate laws against political advertising.
The decision ignited a firestorm on social media in Britain and led to a wildly popular petition demanding that it be overturned. And to many in the United States, where more than $3 billion was spent on political advertising for the recent midterm elections, the reaction was total bafflement. Really, many wondered, can political advertising be banned?
This doesn't even seem political to me. Economic, maybe. I can imagine the executives of the palm oil industry being incensed by it. But it's written by Greenpeace, what else is new? Such a good ad, too. It will make me read labels on food and shampoo, etc. more carefully.
