For anyone interested, this ad got some negative press thanks to its "profiteering from WW1".

This is an interesting take on that: WHAT’S A CONNECTION? | davetrott | Campaign Blogs

I'm familiar with this famous story but the criticism of benefiting
from War is uncalled for. Weapon makers do that all the time and
no one seems to complain. It is a touching story and its emotions
you want to get your ads remembered.

  You must be looking at very different media from me, Ray: I've been seeing protests of various kinds about arms manufacture and sales all over the place, at every level of society, all my life.

And they all lived happily ever after...

Some nice irony in the fact WWI was sold to poor young saps as a war that'd be "over by Christmas."

Perhaps I'm too cynical.

  For one, it is a rip off of a Paul McCartney song.

  And two, Bristol Rugby Club was based at The Memorial Ground, Bristol which was built in 1921 in memory of 300 local rugby players who died in WW1
  
  Sainsbury's are going to knock the whole thing down and build a supermarket.
  
  So that is why Sainsbury's got flak.

That's the way it really is, unfortunately. We are all under a hypnotic curse. We blindly follow leaders that sit their fat asses at the rear of the battle, while we go off and slaughter some other poor schmuck that is hypnotically following another fat jerk.
