What have we become? I was saddened, sickened - to see this advert in the weekend edition of The Press today. "Rally the troops for ANZAC deals" it reads. It goes on to mock the commemeration of the day our brave boys landed on the beach in Gallipoli, many of them losing their lives. "Men can wear flowers" jests the ad.Please, commercialise Christmas and Easter if you must, but leave ANZAC day alone.
Bond & Bond, along with many other retailers show a disgusting lack of respect for our soldiers. Their ANZAC day motto is surely "Lest we lose a dollar". The advert here encouragers consumers to go into debt, "get what you want, now!", with not even a thought spared for the terrible sacrifices those soldiers made, that ANZAC day is suposed to commemerate.
