OMFG, Kohl's is using Rebbecca Black's "Friday" in their Xmas ads

[tridim]

I didn't think the ads this year could get any worse, but there it is.

Are retailers trying to drive us all crazy?

3. It's almost up there with that annoying Target woman.

And every Jared commercial.

Grabbing stuff out of someone's shopping cart... Merry Christmas, Tiny Tim!

4. Looks like Rebecca Black made a cameo appearance...

She's the woman in the red coat, right?

[Iggo]

12. Oh hey, I think you're right!

:thumbsup:

5. This commercial reminded me of a commercial from my childhood...

...I couldn't get the song out of my head for years.

Anyone remember this Alexander's commercial?

6. Saw that last night. They are trying to make bad behavior appear cool.

Assholes. I'll never support Kohl's or Target again. Or any other business that steps all over their "associates'" (slaves) rights to enjoy the holidays like everybody else.

7. Did I see her take a package out of someone else's cart?

And this is an OFFICIAL commercial? Way to shoplift, Kohl's!

8. She took the package from Rebecca Black.

She makes a cameo appearance.

10. She does a cameo in a commerical featuring a song she made infamous

but was NOT allowed to star in it?

This brings an entirely new dimension to the meaning of "Welcome to palookaville!"

:rofl:

11. Lol...

Saw the ad and I just hope they don't go out of business after this...

[rocktivity]

14. Just saw my first Target commercials -- DREADFUL!

Are they aware that people have DIED in Black Friday shopping stampedes? This is the mentality they want to promote?

15. I hope Rebecca Black make a million dollars off that song NT

[rocktivity]

16. If she had a hand in writing, composing or producing the song, she has a chance

But most likely she just got a flat fee for recording it.

17. I will grant you that Rebecca Black isn't a great singer

but she didn't do too bad for a 14YO. I've also heard that she donated every dime she made off of "Friday" to charity. I can't say for sure that's true but if it is why are we ragging on this girl so hard?
