Ban the Littlewoods Christmas Advert
The reason i would like it banned is because it blatantly brainwashes children into believing that parents have a never ending wallet of money. It is sickening and it doesn't even explain the true meaning of Christmas. I would like the government to pull the advert from TV and ban it from ever been shown again. Or if not that, edit it so it shows the true meaning of Christmas with Jesus Christ and been with your family.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Advertising in the UK is controlled through a system of co-regulation and self-regulation, which is administered by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA). This regulatory system is independent of Government and is ultimately responsible for setting the standards in advertising.
The Committee of Advertising Practice (CAP) and the Broadcast Committee of Advertising Practice (BCAP) are the bodies responsible for writing and maintaining the advertising codes.
The ASA regulates advertising in all media and they ensure that advertisements, wherever they appear, comply, in full, with the requirements of the UK advertising codes – in particular that they are legal, decent, honest and truthful.
You may wish to complain to the ASA. You can write to them at Advertising Standards Authority, Mid City Place, 71 High Holborn, London, WC1V 6QT, telephone on 020 7492 2222 / 020 7242 8159 or visit their website at www.asa.org.uk
