I don't watch much television and I usually avoid the adverts, so I don't know if this, or my reaction, are normal, but recently I saw an advert for a supermarket that began seemingly to stress the importance of a proper breakfast - so far, so good - but then showed the making of a bacon sandwich, with the voiceover stressing the importance not of breakfast, but of BACON. I can't recall the exact words but was left with the impression that I was being told that bacon was a very important part of "our" way of life. It ended by explaining that this was why the supermarket's bacon was such a reasonable price.
Would Muslims find this offensive?
Would Jews find this offensive?
Might the makers of the advert have been aware of these possibilities?
Have I become over sensitive to the possibility of causing offence?
