Title: Waitrose hit back at Wenger!

Waitrose runs campaign based on comment by Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger LONDON - Waitrose has launched a comical advertising campaign promoting its Essential range, in response to a comment made by Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger.
The campaign, created by Kitcatt Nohr Alexander Shaw, responds to a Wenger comment when talking about the transfer market. Wenger said: ‘Can you buy players at Waitrose?'
The ads feature Wenger's quote and a number of products from the essential Waitrose range which could be consumed on a match-day, such as Essential scotch eggs, crisps and pork pies.
One ad carries the strapline: 'The essential home team' and the copy: 'Sorry Mr Wenger, we don't sell footballers at Waitrose. But you will find all the other essentials for a match at home.'
The campaign appears in Waitrose stores and on LCD screens at train stations in north London - near to the Arsenal ground. Media was bought by Manning Gottlieb OMD.
The campaign is similar to a campaign the retailer ran in 2007, following comments by the then Chelsea manger Jose Mourinho about the quality of the retailer's eggs.

Vincent: Want some bacon?
Jules: No man, I don't eat pork.
Vincent: Are you Jewish?
Jules: Nah, I ain't Jewish, I just don't dig on swine, that's all.
Vincent: Why not?
Jules: Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals.
Vincent: Bacon tastes gooood. Pork chops taste gooood.
Jules: Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfucker. Pigs sleep and root in shit. That's a filthy animal. I ain't eat nothin' that ain't got sense enough to disregard its own feces.
Vincent: How about a dog? Dogs eats its own feces.
Jules: I don't eat dog either.
Vincent: Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal?
Jules: I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.
Vincent: Ah, so by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, he would cease to be a filthy animal. Is that true?
Jules: Well we'd have to be talkin' about one charming motherfuckin' pig. I mean he'd have to be ten times more charmin' than that Arnold on Green Acres, you know what I'm sayin'?
