Justifiable or just tongue-in-cheek?

And they ought to apologise for their continued mis-use of 'Cornish Pasty' - they should not contain mince, peas or carrots.

The stupidity of advertising people never surprises me, DTC

And Greggs should apologise for serving not hot...not warm...but cold pastries that taste pretty awful, once out of the oven for hours at a time. Still the same price though!
Avoid the chain shops, such as Greggs and go to the independents as they DO care. Rant over...I thangggg euuuu. ☺

When Gregg's was a small North-East bakery with a few outlets their produce was very good. Now it's dreadful. I wouldn't be seen dead in there, I leave that to the chavviest of the chavs to buy sausage rolls to feed their brood in their pushchairs.

[ummmm]

I've never had a Gregg's but my daughter likes their sausage rolls. She's not a chav...she just works close by.

A roll in the manger
No plate for a bed
The poor little sausage
Made some folk see red

"tongue in cheek". They must know this is a Christian country whether you believe or not. Must have known it would cause outrage.

[Old_Geezer]

But Christian extremists are unexpected.

[Old_Geezer]

No one expects the Spanish (Errr... UK) Inquisition !

[ummmm]

I don't think many people are outraged. They seem to be more bothered that the same wouldn't be aimed at Muslims.

Given that folk these days are 'outraged' if the don't get the sugar in their coffee when they asked for it, I wouldn't be surprised.

[Jackdaw33]

I'll tell you a tale about Gregg's. I used to like their small bread buns. I went into the shop and asked for 1/2 dozen, only to be told that, "I'm sorry, but I only have a dozen left". No way was she going to split the cellophane, even though it was almost closing time and the dozen would have ended up in the skip ten minutes later.

I like that OG! Haha...

I'm sure Jesus had a sense of humour and would've laughed himself at the advert.

[Sammy48]

I think it’s a senseless advert, and to think people get paid to come up with this (:0(

[Jackdaw33]

If I thought that all I was going to get for Xmas was Gregg's produce I would rather have a stocking full of cinders.
