I didn't think the ads this year could get any worse, but there it is.

Are retailers trying to drive us all crazy?

3. It's almost up there with that annoying Target woman.
And every Jared commercial.

Grabbing stuff out of someone's shopping cart... Merry Christmas, Tiny Tim!

5. This commercial reminded me of a commercial from my childhood...
...I couldn't get the song out of my head for years.

Anyone remember this Alexander's commercial?

6. Saw that last night. They are trying to make bad behavior appear cool.
Assholes. I'll never support Kohl's or Target again. Or any other business that steps all over their "associates'" (slaves) rights to enjoy the holidays like everybody else.

And this is an OFFICIAL commercial? Way to shoplift, Kohl's!

Edited on Wed Nov-23-11 09:19 PM by rocktivity
but was NOT allowed to star in it?

This brings an entirely new dimension to the meaning of "Welcome to palookaville!"

Edited on Thu Nov-24-11 04:22 PM by rocktivity
Are they aware that people have DIED in Black Friday shopping stampedes? This is the mentality they want to promote?

16. If she had a hand in writing, composing or producing the song, she has a chance
Edited on Thu Nov-24-11 09:33 PM by rocktivity
But most likely she just got a flat fee for recording it.

17. I will grant you that Rebecca Black isn't a great singer
Edited on Fri Nov-25-11 10:21 AM by RSillsbee
but she didn't do too bad for a 14YO. I've also heard that she donated every dime she made off of "Friday" to charity. I can't say for sure that's true but if it is why are we ragging on this girl so hard?

Multiple typos
