Victor in Mapperton BS: Specsavers ad, insult to Edith Piaf (91* d) BS: Specsavers ad, insult to Edith Piaf 25 Jan 08


My God just how low can a company stoop to sell a product. Here in Britain the company Specsavers are using film footage of one of the greatest singers of all time,Edith Piaf singing "Non, je ne regrette rien" and they have a taper running across the bottom of the screen saying "I wish I had went to Specsavers for a bargain". This is sick, Edith was blind from the age of 11 to 14 as a result of keratitis.

How can a company be allowed to manipulate such a classic rendition and insult the memory of such a wonderful woman who led such a tragic life.

Sorry folks, just needed to sound off somewhere.

Victor.
