I blame Sex And The City for this.

First Aldi ripped the M and S food ad, then Asda sort of did, now Tesco are doing it. With Richard Briers of all people. The man should be too much of a legend for this kind of shameless stunt. Rubbish.

My entire family are now referring to them as "The M&S harpies."
I have to admit... as annoyingly smug as the actual harpies may be, I like the song in the background.

I think it may be a Roxy Music song. It sounds like them and that would make sense given that Brian Ferry is the new man at M and S (a vast improvement on Alan Hansen).

It's actually "Glass of Champagne" by Sailor, whoever they are (they've had a greatest hits though).
Not that I've downloaded it or anything.

I have.
And I think now that Bryan Ferry is the face of the Marks and Spencer mens department, he should do a male version of the M&S harpies ad with a bunch of male models.
Er, yes...

Was Brett Anderson not supposed to be doing a Marks advert too?

That would be so amazing! I would love an advert like that. Bryan Ferry and other hot old men that I probably shouldn't fancy but do could saunter around London smoking cigars and looking smug.

To save money, they should get the forest-dwelling Boosh version to model the latest in Blue Harbour jackets:

Morrisons are doing one of those food ads as well now. As if we can't tell they're all copying M&S. Dumbass supermarkets.
That bread, cheese and chutney does look quite nice though.

My beloved budgie died on Bryan Ferry's meaty face. His M&S newspaper advert was lining her cage.
She deserved better, but at least it wasn't Erin O'Connor's.

Yeah. It's a dead pets sort of year. There's only a goldfish left now, and my dad. The incredible hairyness and low IQ mean he counts as some sort of pet.

I can relate to that.
I didn't like Erin till i saw on a Project Runway repeat and she called someone's design crap.

Their new Christmas ad is on tonight. Erin looks smugger than ever, Twiggy's stroking a pussy and they've got Dame Shirley singing a Pink song!

Even though they appear to be in some sort of ice palace the really pretty girl who's always modelling the lingerie still spends half the ad in her knickers. I can understand why Twiggy might not want to cavort in her undercrackers, but do you think Erin, Lizzie Jagger and that blonde one ever wonder why the ad people don't ask them to loll around half naked?

By jove, that Erin wants a slap. And also, poor Michael Grade with his "shirley bassey on tv" phobia. He put her into Room 101 because watching her perform makes him wince. Every ad break now. I guess he can just leave the room as soon as he is warned by Erin's punchably smug face smirking to leave the room. do you think Erin, Lizzie Jagger and that blonde one ever wonder why the ad people don't ask them to loll around half naked? In reference to Dame Shirley: "THEY HAVEN'T GOT THE RAAANGE, DAHLING."

Have any of you seen the billboard ad with Erin O'Connor perched on a wall with Big Ben in the background? She has the smuggest face I've ever seen. All I want to do is push her off the wall and into the Thames (which is presumably behind her).

Erin and Lizzie probably have 'no underwear' clauses in their contracts: they're 'names'.
If I was Erin O'Connor I'd look damn smug as well.
Shirley Bassey's skin looks so smooth in that advert they probably spent half the budget on airbrushing, or else coating her with latex (a la Little Britain) beforehand.

I LOVE the new advert, although Lizzie's hair is so frizzy that i am suprised that hot guy looked at her.
Underwear girl has the most beautiful eyes

Erin and Lizzie probably have 'no underwear' clauses in their contracts: they're 'names'. I can confirm that this is not true of Lizzie. She was doing a feature in one of the posh weekend paper mags (the Observer I think) for some underwear that one of her friends has designed. It was a range called 'Love Pussy' (classy). In one of the shots she was wearing a just below minge length vest with the above slogan emblazzoned across it. This was made all the more ladylike because for some unknown reason the vest was wet so you could see her baps and her minge right through it.

... and stop being so gayly (sp?) excited over these things. No you don't! I've only seen it once and then without the sound. I could hardly contain myself with excitement. I haven't been so (positively) excited by an ad for ages. Can't wait to catch Dame Shirl at full tilt!

Could they not have found a better song for Shirley to sing in her M&S Magicwear (it's one of those 'revolutionary' ones that hold all a lady's wobbly bumps and lumps in) dress? I want more ooomph from her.
Otherwise it's a great advert. I'm actually starting to love Erin's smug bitchattude. Though I do worry about Underwear girl catching her death.

Can you imagine the look on The Bass's face when they told her she would have to wear off the peg M & S?
I think Erin is amplifying the smug looks to wind up this very website. There can surely be no other explanation for her utterly hateful facial expressions?
