Yes yes, I know...that title sounds quite strange and perverse. Allow me to explain.
So, according to our rector, over the past year or two, a new style of food advertising has come about which can best be described as "food porn" (the industry uses this word too...they know it's food porn). Basically, food porn involves making commercials that have artsy shots of really delicious looking food, having someone with a seductive voice describe the food, and playing smooth jazz guitar riffs in the background. It's really quite hilarious if you don't take the commercial seriously. So, at the risk of sounding weird, I've decided to share this cultural oddity so that you may all get a good laugh about it. Here's a clip of one of Marks & Spencers' Christmas ads...watch it and tell me if you don't see what I mean or if you don't laugh. We all think it's pretty humorous over here, but maybe not.

Hope you enjoy (fingers crossed)

Tim,
what a combination... Never would have thought of Santana music as a vehicle for selling food. However, It looked and sounded delicious. Awh, to be in marketing these days. Thanks for sharing.. Enjoy the food and pints. Looking forward to seeing you next week! Love,Dad
