Cars with bows


There will be times when I go off on a blogging tangent - and today is one of those times. I will call these posts "sidenotes." Sidenotes are when I just HAVE to get something off of my chest and I will provide you with fair warning. Here it is..

sidenote:

Does anyone else get annoyed with Christmas commercials for Lexus, Hybrid, Mercedes, etc. (insert any car brand)? Let me explain.

The commercial begins with a wife/husband, daughter/son -type person with their eyes covered on an early Christmas morning. Everyone is dressed up at what seems to be 6am. Yea, no bed-head, no Christmas pee-jays or slippers.....everyone looks ready for a Tommy Hilfiger Sunday brunch. Their eyes are then uncovered to reveal a 2011 model car - worth at least 30 grand - with a HUGE red bow strategically attached to the top. SURPRISE! Shock! Razzle Dazzle! Here you go honey, I just bought this extremely expensive car without consulting you.

WHO DOES THIS?


really,
has this happened to you?

and,
do you super-secretly wish it had?

  1. These cars were actually the topic of some Thanksgiving conversation with my family. I have even seen two DIFFERENT commercials where the cars with the bows are literally inside the house...like in the living room! Can you believe it?

  2. I agree, these commercials are so stupid, only the extremely rich can possibly do this!
