It's political according to someone.

If we will invade for oil will we invade to save the environment?

Tech Munch yes it is the truth but the horrible truth 😢😢😪

@@calvinjohnstone2664 It's not that it's political. It's the fact that they collaborated with Greenpeace to produce this Advert. Greenpeaces' activities are political in Nature. Nowhere in this Advert does it state that Greenpeace were involved in the making of the advert. This is where the issue lies. It was banned because a business is not allowed to advertise a political message on behalf of a organisation that is political in nature without informing the viewer.

Yet again the truth is suppressed. Even though presented very well. Who got offended here...OOOH YEH.

@@vihmaussivenitaja I can say thank you for your reply, we have a lot more poor people than you think, they are not thinking about the eco, they are trying to to do the best for there family. I wish we all these greater people would disappear.

They intended it to be banded so it would get further publicity

+Gerry Michael Which country are you referring to? That was a very long winded sob story that never got to a particular point. Plenty of immigrants do well in countries that had nothing to do with harming their own economies, like the Congolese and Palestinians who come to Ireland. Plenty of immigrants come from powerful countries, like India or Iran. Also, Europeans are often immigrants as well. We migrate to America and Australia and central Asia. And while we're at it, immigrants have far more rights than orangutans or any other animal for that matter. So it's a stupid comparison.

@@vihmaussivenitaja Estonia is not that poor but i'm in the same boat as you. Would have never seen the commercial hadn't it been banned.

It's not banned every where! I believe the publicity is important in bringing awareness regardless of it being banned in some countries, and the industry needs to be regulated to the benefit of the environment, which includes us all!

Yes, so powerful, and I'll keep signing petitions.

It really shouldn't have been banned

Lol

orangutans habitat being destroyed is heartwarming?

@@MsPinkwolf she very obviously wasn't refering to that. She means the message about helping not harming

MsPinkwolf any idea what did the western did to wildlife habitats? Why only pick on under developed country? Western country also sacrifice nature in order to develope.

many orang utan die this month because they burn the forest to open new palm oil plantation... let's help us in malaysia and indonesia prevent this to hapoen by boycott palm oil product..

kamarul hisham sure. Banned also any meat, vegetable oil, and all of the product from western because it is the result of deforesation back on thousand of years and they dont know what they had miss plus they have little forest compare with Malaysia & Indonesia. Before you lot act all high & mighty about other country business, how about straighten up your own country first?

Well done Iceland and it's been banned because it's the truth the world is daft "quick let's ban something just in case it damages our rep" well guess what this is fact a very powerful advert and my praise goes to Iceland the advertising committee should be ashamed to ban this what's wrong you scared it's going to effect sales or something. Shall we just come damage your multi million pound homes instead. Rant over

We should also see when we're being manipulated. According to Iceland, it wasn't banned.

@@Vago358 The responsibility for issuing a ban would fall to the Advertising Standards Agency (ASA), acting on behalf of Ofcom.

@@villainofthepiste5858 Exactly.

@@Vago358 So what are you saying then? The advert isn't being shown because of it's Political stand point. It hasn't been banned exactly, I agree but it isn't being shown either. It's just a way of the governing body getting around the fact that it isn't being shown but don't want to say it's banned

Karyn C lol the power of advertising...mission accomplished Iceland.

How did you enjoy the retail experience?

@@derptower 10/10 I LOVE ICLAND WOOOOO

The advert was rightfully banned. The add is not only politically motivated but its also not factual - its a huge fat lie which is also a competition killing tactics to destroy palm oil dominance on edible oil industry because Europian edible oil companies can not outcompete palm oil by its sheer production efficiency alone. The oil is also the most versatile with two different types of oils produced (Crude Palm Oil and Palm Kernel Oil) which have different properties.

I think you mean "what" they're doing to wildlife

There is imigrant in my room. He steals everything I have. They have different colour and always make mess. I tell those imigrant to go away. But before he goes, I asked him " Oh imigrant, why you are in my room" And he says : "There were European in my country. They stole everything we used to have. Then they went away, and we try to improve ourselves. But the European tell us everything in WTO regarding what we should and should not do. They promote the free market, but they dictate what we do. They push us to ratify Intellectual Property right, so we don't have anything to develop whereas those European had a good start to do. The European had been using Coal and CO2 for hundred of years, but when we do the same thing, they despise what we do. They use our O2, but they never pay for what they did and what our nature do. And then they tell us to be green, by buying their stuffs and their technology, which are forbidden for us to make as IP covers that too. Hence, we can only come to your country or selling our labour and our natural resources as we do not know what to do. And yet, they only care about orang utan, not we as person like you. I hope I can feed my kids and raise them, just like your parents do"

I'm sure everyone knows what it's doing to wildlife. It would just make people avoid certain products

And companies like M&S who use a sh*t time of Palm Oil in all their own brand stuff. Disgusting!

Charlie as factual the western deforest to plant vegetables oil no?

yes Indeed... many orang utan die this month because they burn forest in indonesia to open new palm oil plantation

kamarul hisham what did the westerner miss from their deforesation activites then? We still have more forest than them and as for org utan, i do feel sorry about them but talking is cheap, whats is the other alternative for Malaysia & Indonesia beside palm oil? If we plant soybean, corn oil, raps oil, will EU will ban those vegetable oil too? How about the plant that feed to their livestock and how many trees that could be replant with those land? Did they ban it too? Cakap memang la pandai. Ko pegi sara hidup semua FELDA and palm oil farmer kalau macam tu.

Just stop consuming oil

@@Bungle2010 it was

@@Bungle2010 regardless, I hope you still agree with the message...

Jazzy B They banned it so the big companies who use palm oil won’t lose money :/

Iceland don't say the advert was banned. Take a look at their Facebook Feed for this advert.

Darla Estella it’s not political!

They banned it for “political reasons”. Oh my god the system is so dumb 🤣

It’s in Iceland buildings too, no audio though

‘Jesus’ let it happen

@John Veery ITS SO SAD THE BIG COMPANIES HIDE THIS

Yep

Mhm

Omg sane I'm watching it rn

Same*

@@vikiii7276 yea

same lol

Right now, you can just avoid buying foods with palm oil in it, so you won't be giving money to people who hurt animals!

Yes 😄 same

Same this vid was so sad 😭😭

Cos they are

here's one more :-)

Ya got 60 noe

Get a life. If 67 likes makes you happy, maybe try going outside.

DowzerWTP72 lay off her pal. Positive feedback is good. Maybe you should get a life

141 so far we’ll done

Also, it wasn't banned.

People didn't really like this advert because it was really sad, therefore, it was banned.

@@typicalfox9011 It wasn't banned because it was sad, it was banned because tv adverts shouldn't portray political issues.

Exactly , they say it's to political I am Mimicking them:BAN IT

@@Vago358 The Iceland Facebook feed you mention - now says it was banned - possibly thanks to your comment.

@Chris Thomson One of the few intelligent comments on here. Palm oil is one of the most efficient crops to grow, to replace it would mean using rapeseed and soy derived oils - far more damaging to the environment and habitats of many animals.

Yes, it will be very hard to use stuff without Palm oil especially shampoo our hair will be all greasy

I'm sorry you deluded teachers showed you this.

@@byteme9718 Why do you say that?

@@sugercane7213 Because it doesn't give any idea of the extent of deforestation and the decimation of one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet. All it shows is a cute baby orangutan and little girl ands= five minutes after watching this ad that's all they remember.
