I just saw a Barnes and Noble ad with Lady Gaga dueting Baby It's Cold Outside with Tony Bennett. So I dropped them an e-mail letting them know I'm disappointed with their choice of that rapey song in 2015. Not that I shop there anyway, and the store near work is closing. So they aren't doing well all around.

The Fruit of the Loom commercials are making me laugh--the tag line is something like, "you shouldn't give underwear to everyone for Christmas, but for those you do, get Fruit of the Loom." One has a teacher expressing polite dismay about getting panties from a student, but another has a Scotsman in a kilt laughing at the idea. Cheeky and amusing.

I noticed that in the Lancôme perfume commercial, it's re-edited so we don't see Julia Roberts walking/clumping around.

I'm watching the dog show, and there's a commercial I've seen at least twice that is driving me bonkers. It's a Johnson chemical commercial, and it ha a woman hanging Christmas lights in her house, and then she decides to hang them on her elderly neighbor's house instead. (They have a similar commercial with a giant family busting in on Grandpa, which caught my eye for other reasons, but I digress). Anyway, the song in the commercial is a slow, folky number with the world's worst enunciation and/or affected pronunciation. It's so bad. It sounds almost like a speech impediment, which makes me feel like a total a-hole to say, but in my defense I listen to a lot of podcasts with unusually-voiced hosts, like Joe Rosenberg on Snap Judgment, Starlee Kine, and Diane Rehm. We have an HD tv, so maybe there's something extra clear about the sound that makes me want shriek and clamp my hands over my ears.

I just saw the Johnny Depp Dior commercial again. I'd forgotten what a cliche ridden pile of shit it was.

My best little guy has been wearing a little red ribbon with a Merry Christmas gift tag since yesterday. And he looks ADORABLE!!!! My sister once sent pictures of her cat wearing a Santa beard and hat, and my coworker and I spent an entire afternoon making up captions, because he clearly looked like he wanted to cut a bitch.

The coffee commercial with Clooney and Devito makes me smile every time I see it.

There's a series of commercials for Halos (are they clementines?) with little kids getting angry at their parents for eating or giving away the last one. One of them is really creepy. The dad wakes up and finds a head of a stuffed animal horse in his bed and his little daughter in the doorway with the creepiest look in her eyes. The last shot is of the dad at the grocery store buying more and the daughter brushing the tail of the stuffed horse with no head. Seems awfully violent for a comical ad.
