Knock It Off...

I am sick to fucking death of the recent spate of commericals about giving fucking cars for Christmas.

Knock this shit off. I mean it.

Look, there's two kinds of people buying cars for Christmas:

1. The filthy rich who get a new car every year or two, who don't need a cheesy 30 second sound bite to remind them that it's time to trade last year's model in; and

2. The cheap bastards who were going to get a new car anyways and figure they could weasel out of buying their SO any Christmas presents. These folks don't need a commercial for a car, they need the name of a good divorce attorney...

That is all...

Heh - I'll take those over the most farookin' stupid Toyota Tundra commercials... it looks like someone decided to try to sell trucks by setting them next to moving toys and showing how this truck can outwit the toys... Sheesh! Unfortunately, those are the most prevalent during football games.

Unfortunately, car commercials are prevalent *all* the time. If you don't believe me, just watch. At every single commercial break, there is at least one car/truck commercial, and it is usually the first one right out of the gate. I have seen commercial breaks where the very first commercial is for one brand of car, and the second or third commercial is for a competing brand.

I think the only commercials that outnumber car commercials are the ones for the TV station itself.

At least its not a damn Chevy "This is our country" commercial. I actually change the channel when that commercial comes on.

So, does that mean you won't be getting me a new car for Christmas?
(LOL!)

I like the ones that take advantage of every opportunity, i.e. furniture. Everybody needs to rush right our and get that "Back to School" bed, couch, or chair. Yeah, right.

My father learned the hard way that (at least in California at that time) gifts given to the spouse didn't go into the to-be-divided pot during a divorce. Mom ended up with one car, almost all the furniture, lots and lots of collectible glassware, etc, etc and then they split up the rest.

He didn't get half her car, but he did get to keep half the loan on it.
