Christmas Commercials I Can Do Without

Some Christmas themed commercials I like. Others deserve napalming the actors, producers, and script writers of such atrocities. In no particular order of my hit list:
  • Any diamond commercial that has the theme of "Buy her diamonds or you don't love her!"
  • Lexus commercials where their products arrive with the big red ribbon. My personal favorite is the one with the Lexus SUV in the living room when the family comes downstairs. The way that commercial should end is the mother shooing the kids back upstairs screaming that her and daddy are going to test out folding rears seats and the rear suspension right now.
  • Christmas carolers singing the praises of a Honda Civic. At least you don't have cute kids hawking a $16,000 automobile.
  • My #1 Favorite of this season: any Old Navy commercial with those perfect politically correct Christmas carolers. What puts it over the top is the cut to the perfect, sugary sweet little girl pleading we buy fashionable polar fleece and pants all in sizes that wouldn't fit the majority of us. Santa would snap after watching that atrocity of commercialism.
