Holiday Best Buy Ads = The Worst

Here's an idea. Let's get an awkward assorted group of people of different genders and races, put them in Best Buy uniforms and have them standing on the street. Then, when a random person walks by wondering what gift to get her family, the carolers can start singing what that person should get... IN THE TUNE OF A CHRISTMAS CAROL!!!!

After the awkward "try to be funny by inserting witty lyrics about how this person will use the product" I'm left feeling like I just made breakfast for a hooker who still can't take a hint.

Seriously, the commercials are absolutely awful. The writers should be ashamed. The actors and actresses should be ashamed to take part in this. Best Buy probably makes a killing during Christmas but because of this absolute pitiful display of advertising, they will not get my business this Holiday season.

How else are you going to send a message to bad advertising? Ive seen the commercial about 3 times and its already at "change the channel instantly" status. THREE TIMES. That sort of status had only been obtained by that retard Addison from Grey's anatomy who did that car commercial asking if our cars returned the favor?

Anyways, I'm in the middle of finals season so my posts may be a bit limited. I might do a couple Europe stories and I have one more planned series of blogs to do this month. I wouldnt expect them anytime soon. I'd imagine they'll be making their debut around December 18th. Alright, enjoy Christmas season and try not to be a retarded consumer that pisses away money because the media tells you.
