Only 23 more shopping days until Christmas, and we're waist-deep in holiday commercials, arguably the worst kind of commercial an agency will ever be asked to make. Competition is fierce, and companies are desperate for your hot cash injection (especially during a recession). They will stop at nothing to persuade you to buy things you can't afford, so the Baby Jesus can guilt you into giving those things away to other people.
My goal for FTA this month is to write twelve posts about Christmas ads, but given my fear of commitment, holidays, and the Partridges, this idea is likely ill-conceived.
On the first day of Christmas, FTA gives to you: A Reality Check
Sometimes men believe that the awesomest gift they can buy for their special lady is lingerie, since it should logically lead them to a hidden prize showcase in the bedroom. Not so.
This agency should be fired for convincing men that women want this:
And this agency should be highly commended for revealing the truth:

Finally, Someone More Annoying Than Paris Hilton
by BeckEye from The Pop Eye
There is this chick who seems to be on my TV constantly these days. She is the most obnoxious person I think I have ever seen in my life. I loathe her, despite the fact that I don't even know her name.
You may have seen her too - this broad in the Secret Flawless deodorant commercial* who is walking down the street with her arms up in the air like she in da club, and generally being a menace to all passersby. She walks past some suit and commands him to give her a high five, then giggles and squeakily boasts, "I didn't even know that guy!" (I'll bet she's said that on a lot of hungover mornings.) Then, she hails a cab like a complete spaz and, after the guy stops, she's like, "No thanks, I'd rather walk." Yeah. Let's see her try that in New York for real. A cabbie wouldn't think twice about running her skinny little ass over.
I don't know why I hate this woman so much. She's either just that annoying, or I'm becoming a rage-a-holic. Whatever the case may be, I know this. If I ever see her on the street, I am going to rip her arms off. Then we'll see how damn good she smells.
*I was going to link the video for anyone who hadn't seen it yet, but I can't seem to find it. Apparently, everyone else hates it too, possibly even Procter & Gamble who haven't even bothered to slap the ad up on YouTube for some fast, free publicity.
