After an initial feeling of “I’m going to hate this!” I found the pork ad quite clever and funny and I would’t be surprised if it delivers a good result in awareness and sales. Any TVC with a Barry White musical reference can’t be all bad.

As long as no one mentions how these poor animals are raised then I guess it’s a win – although not sure I’d go so far as to say clever.

If it ain’t free range it has had one of the most miserable lives of any animal on the planet. Battery hens have a grand old life in comparison.

I am not a vego and I do like Barry White BTW
