I cannot stand them. Perhaps it is the combination of forced Christmas psuedo-cheerfulness and forced cheerleading psuedo-cheerfulness.

Yet I feel obliged to comment on them. Because I hate them so much.

1. I despise all Christmas marketing, just on principle.
So, I hate the GAP commercials, too, even though I haven't seen them. :hi:

Xmas ads always get more annoying every year. :eyes:

3. I literally turn my TV off when they come on.
It's faster than changing channels. I can't stand them.

4. Me too - that's what the MUTE button is for...

now there's one with little kids too - they are obnoxious commercials.

I like corona beer commercials - they are pretty and quiet and clever and I don't mute them, I actually watch them.

(on edit, I don't even like beer.)

6. I dislike the overstock.com add with the woman singing in the all white background.

The production reminds me of the 1970s somehow.

7. I just can't believe plaid shirts are back.
I miss the Jump Jive n Wail commercials from a long time ago. But none of the commercials ever made me want to shop at the Gap.
