Back in August M&S filmed their Christmas advert.
Within it there is a scene where red, white and green Christmas paper hats are on fire in the fireplace.
M&S posted an image of that on Instagram yesterday by way of generating some PR around their Christmas campaign.
Unfortunately for them they forgot that some people are utter morons, step forward the cretinous mob who decided that red and green paper hats were in fact representative of the Palestinian flag.
Factoids for the cretinous mob:
1 red and green are the traditional colours of Christmas
2 The Italian, and Hungarian flags also contain red white and green (were M&S disrespecting them too?)
The mob duly bayed for blood and M&S, foolishly, gave in and deleted their Instagram post (whilst still running the TV ad) and issued a grovelling apology.
M&S have clearly not understood the basic law of mobs; they are akin to rabid dogs, if you try to be nice to them, they will bite you!
