HATE Best Buy Commercials

Ok, so I understand that Santa is a mythical character and the real "reason for the season" is celebrating Christ's birth. However, I think that Santa represents the spirit of giving, love, and selflessness and is easier for children comprehend. That said, I ABHOR Best Buy's new commercials: "Hey, be a dick to Santa this holiday!" Not that I was going to buy something specific at Best Buy, but now I won't even think about shopping there. I let them know by email how much I hated their commercials and told them to fire their advertising team and got a form response from them about how they didn't mean to offend and they'd pass my message on (which tells me they must be getting a lot of complaints which should tell them something). If my children were a little older, I'd be even more pissed. Sorry, had to get this off my chest. [/endrant]

I wish they'd go back to stuff like this:

Schmoe, I also was shocked the first time I saw the video. What a dumb advertising campaign. I've always thought that best buy was overrated though, so.... nothing new, they won't be getting my money either way.



Way to go for sending that email.

I agree
