I am so outraged I had to come on here to vent my disgust.

Coles are currently running a promotion which states "because we all buy meat". I do not appreciate being told I consume dead animals during a casual trip to the supermarket.

As a result of this campaign, Coles have had lots of angry vegetarians/vegans complaining on their Facebook. Have a look at all the comments.

I can't believe Coles are running a campaign like this in the 21st century. I am disgusted.

Thankyou!! I was so outraged by it I had a rant on facebook about it haha. And "we all buy eggs/milk" no, no we really don't.

Youre completely right, a campaign such as that doesn't belong in this decade.

Oh my gosh! I love the vegan uproar on their page!

I hate their ads too, I find them offensive. By saying 'we all buy chicken', it's implying that I too allow chickens to be tortured and slaughtered for my taste buds. angry

I know, it's such a flipping joke isn't it? I see rows and rows of bus shelter ads on my way to/from work stating things like "because we all buy milk" or "eggs", and I'm like "I don't". I feel like going on a graf counter campaign and plastering "I don't. - Go vegan" over the ads in black paint.  angry

I'm waiting for someone to make a parody on this ad. Something akin to:

"because we all know Coles is in cahoots with Woolies"

or

"because we all know Coles rips off its suppliers"

Hahahaha! Exactly.

*EDIT.. Oh, and eventhough I buy very little from supermarkets these days, it will not be from Coles. Morons.

Yea, every single time it comes on I make a comment. My bf tries to distract me and talks loudly when it comes on so I don't notice now tongue haha.

I mean... I don't like it. Even if I wasn't vegetarian, I could be someone who doesn't LIKE chicken etc. So the ad is annoying.

I don't think too much of it though.. they are doing it with toilet paper and everything too. It's nothing against us.

I agree, I HATE those ads.
The arguments and hate on their facebook page is brilliant though  tongue
