Christmas adverts cause complaints
10/11/2006
 Christmas advertising is happening too early, neglects the real meaning of Christmas and upsets children, according to the high number of consumers who have objected to some of the adverts appearing on television and posters as the Christmas party season approaches.
While those who have been booking Christmas parties early may have been thinking of the festive season for a long time, the Advertising Standards Agency is hearing from many people unhappy with the early start to the campaign, the Guardian reports. Complaints have included accusations of over-commercialisation, which distracts from the religious basis of Christmas, and irresponsible pressure on financially pressed consumers. It is not only Christmas advertising that has been criticised this week. The House of Commons treasury committee chairman John McFall MP has written a letter to the Financial Services Authority criticising the way it regulates the advertising of financial services and products.
