Anyone else who can't stomach Christmas commercials?

I could listen to the same christmas songs and the same commercials (for the most part) over and over and over and over again

I'm with you on the Christmas music - I love it and don't get tired of hearing it over and over. Sure beats rap!!! Commercials get real old real fast - for the most part anyway.

I wish the stores would hold off at least till Nov before they start pushing Christmas tho. Oct is just too darn early. I did notice around here however, that the stores seem a little slower getting their Christmas decorations and goods out this year. I was looking for Christmas cards a couple of weeks ago, and hardly any stores had any out.

My biggest peeve is them taking a beautiful Christmas song like "The Ukrainian Carol", aka "Carol of the Bells" and parodying it. I've told my singing group that I don't like the song any more because of this! Make up your own jingles, for Pete's sake!

I actually do really enjoy Christmas music, but I also hate it when its made trite on an annoying commercial.

yeah all these stupid sappy jewelry commercials drive me nuts lol. I mean don't get me wrong... I am a HUGE sap but my idea of sap is not spending the down payment of a house on a piece of jewelry I am not going to wear anyway lol. Like right now there is one where this lady is up at 2 am with the baby and the hubby comes downstairs and says "I couldn't wait" and then gives her this giant ring. Uh... thanks but I'd rather you take a turn with the baby and let me get some sleep

This was the one I saw, too. It made me gag.

The commercial that bugs the living poop out of me are the GAP/cheerleader commercials.

I swear, I will never shop at a Gap store again, just based on those stupid ads.

This one make me laugh like a moron when I see it.

Here's the deal....
Men always are show as PW'ed gift givers in the commercials.

Yeah, she is all thankful now?

Wait until you hear the yelp from the bathroom when you leave the seat up.
Or,
"Are you going to sit there and watch football all day?"
"Are you stupid? I never have come close to hitting the mailbox."
" YOU tell your mom what she needs to bring!"



I want truth in advertising.......my commercials will be based on the wrath of women..


It's the sure fire way to get a man to leave you alone during the holidays, because he didn't buy you the giant ring/diamond you wanted........


Gas or Electricity.


Buy him a gas powered anything.....chainsaw, generator, model airplane or car.

He'll spend a week or two playing with it. RRRRRRRRRRRR, RRRRRRRRRRR, RRRRRRRRRR.

DO NOT BUY A "One Use" Item....The more uses, the better.


A hedger is nice? A leaf blower better? Gas powered airplane will make him leave the house to play in the park.

Electricity?

That real nice all-in-one remote for him is cool, He'll spend two weekes trying to program all the codes in, only to find that the RCA remote has no code for the RCA DVD player.

A nice table saw is cool, Maybe he'll put up the shelves or try and make all the stuff he sees on the DIY channel. That will keep him in the garage for a while.

No stereo or TVs, He'll never leave the house and test you on how loud the Dolby 5.1 need to be to get your teapot collection dancing in the hutch, us men are like that.

And if you buy us underwear as gifts?

Tell us a huge lie like, "Don't worry, I don't expect you to sleep in them......"

Sorry, I got off topic....
