More holiday commercial fun

Love it:

Wendy's commercial where burger is singing "Making Love Outta Nothin At All"
Credit Card commercial where son gets his mom what she really wants for Christmas - he gets a nice suit and shows up to Christmas dinner in it. I so dig that she has to tear the tags off the back as he walks past her to the table.
The classics - the penguin and polar bear Coke commercials. Yes, we all know the penguins would have been chomped within 20 seconds, but isn't this the season where the lion lays down with the lamb? Maybe penguins can disco with polar bears. That's all I'm saying.


Hate it:

Creepy car commercial where dealer does a full Flashdance to "Maniac" on the showroom floor. Complete with the water splash bit. Ew.
The massive amounts of car commercials, second only in my burning ire to Christmas jewelry commercials.

I like those commercials too. I've talked to the kids about the penguins and the bears just a couple of days ago. I'm trying to teach them when they're young about seeing past the ways commercials try to brainwash people.

The ones I hate?
Those stupid Toyota commercials where everyone's trying to destroy their cars so they have an excuse to buy a new one.
The Best Buy one. They can't open their presents until after they go to Grandma's so they just drive by and wave at her.

Commercialism anyone?
