Sainsbury's Official Christmas 2014 Ad

This is one of the better commercial ads that I have seen. And it is based on a true story that took place during World War I.

I thought you might enjoy it. I did.

As a historian and all round miserable barsteward I find it difficult to believe that in all that misery, suffering and hatred that someone found a football and all was forgotten. http://m.historyextra.com/feature/first-world-war/did-first-world-war-christmas-truce-football-match-really-happen

I find the advert in slightly poor taste as well. It's a brave statement though so fair play for them having the balls.

I have heard about this before this commercial so it might have happened. I wouldn't want to be the guy that started it all though.
