And so they start

November 23, 2009 in bizarre,Christmas,commercials,Uncategorized

Thanksgiving isn't quite here, yet it's almost Christmas.
And, almost Christmas means commercials.
You know the ones. The ones for jewelry.
The ones that make me want to gag.
Don't get me wrong, of course, there are some nice things out there. But the commercials? I'm so over them.
Waking up at 2am rocking a baby and presented with a watch? Hmmm. So she knows it's 2am?
Being scared of a lightning storm and your man telling you "I will always be here for you" in the most seductive of voices? Then presenting her with a necklace? Blah.
Do these commercials work? Not for this momma!
Then again, I guess they are geared at men. Men thinking they are going to get lucky if they buy their significant other some jewelry? Maybe that's it.
Side note: Do you think the music in the ads for "male performance" sound a little "baowm-chika-baow-wow?

I agree I can't stand all those commercials and I would rather have much more stuff then jewelry!! I think they are starting to notice that not many women want jewelry anymore!!!

That thunderstorm commercial kind of bugs me too.

I hate these commercials too!!! My least favorite one was the one when the woman sneaks downstairs peaks at her present…sneaks back upstairs and then pumps her fist and whispers YESSSSSSssss.

It drives me nuts

So cheesy! Definitely geared for men since women don't buy the jewelry!

I think I'm the only one of my kind b/c they don't really bother me. But then again, I never watch commercials. I've only seen the lightening one but I kinda liked that one.

But I agree that they are geared towards men though. Because I'd definitely pick bigger items if it were geared towards a female :)

You nailed it on the head with the geared to men thing. Every woman I know is like PLEASE DON'T GET ME A TWISTY SHITTY DIAMOND NECKLACE THAT IS FOR A GRANDMA.
