Iceland’s Christmas ad called "rang tan"

Great advert highlighting the destructive cost of palm oil, was deemed too "political" so couldn’t air.

Major retailers enter a battle every Christmas to make us cry with their saccharine seasonal ads – but this year we already have a clear winner.
Concern about our planet has never been greater, thanks to last month’s UN report warning that we have 12 years to stop irreversible damage to the Earth. Yet, one month on, a supermarket’s Christmas advert showing the damage palm oil is doing to the natural world has been deemed too political to put on TV. If that doesn’t make you weep, I’m not sure what will.
Iceland repackaged a short film by Greenpeace showing the destruction of an orangutan’s rainforest habitat due to palm oil growers. Palm oil is about as unsustainable as it gets, and contributes to habitat loss and the endangerment of species, including elephants, rhinos, tigers and orangutans.
In a move that has been widely criticised, Clearcast, which approves ads on behalf of broadcasters including Sky, Channel 4 and ITV, says it couldn’t clear the Iceland ad against the rules of the Broadcast Code of Advertising Practice. The Advertising Standards Authority, which has the authority to rule on Clearcast’s decisions, says it has had “no role” in this case.

What is so bad about palm oil?
I think I want some. What’s it for?

Palm oil cultivation has been criticized for:
Greenhouse gas emissions. Deforestation in tropical areas accounts for an estimated 10 percent of manmade CO2 emissions, and is a driver toward dangerous climate change.[17]
Habitat destruction, leading to the demise of critically endangered species (e.g. the Sumatran elephant, Sumatran tiger,[18] the Sumatran rhinoceros,[19] and the Sumatran orangutan).[15][20][21][22][23][24]
Reduced biodiversity,[25] including damage to biodiversity hotspots.[23][26]
Cultivating crops on land that belongs to indigenous people in the Sarawak and Kalimantan states on the island of Borneo and the Malaysian state of Sabah.[27][28]
