Christmas Smishmas

Jump to Comments

I miss the political commercials.  Yeah, I said it.  I think they were the lesser of two evils.  What is this new evil you ask?  Christmas commercials.  And more specifically Lexus ads.  This year of all years is when we least need to see these damn things.  The economy is in the tanker, go buy a car for your wife for Christmas.  Really?  What percentage of the population watching that commercial has ever purchased a brand new car as a Christmas gift?  One percent?  Furthermore what person after watching that same ad thinks to themselves “Hmmm… You know buying a car for a Christmas present isn’t a bad idea?”  What the hell has happened to Christmas?  I’m not even catholic and it pisses me off!  Not to mention these new Lexus ads portray people comparing the cars their receiving to getting a special gift from their past.  If you’re getting a car for Christmas I highly doubt you’re at all that ecstatic.  Something tells me you live a pretty good life and this car isn’t going to change it all that much.  And is it really better than a childhood Christmas memory?  That’s when this holiday was at its most magical.  I guess it wouldn’t bother me so much if they weren’t on seemingly every other commercial, no matter what I’m watching.  What happened to Christmas just being about friends and family?  It’s a sad state of life out there this time of year.
