Commercials I Hate: Special Holiday Edition!

I love Christmas. I love the shopping, I love the music, I love the food, and I even love the advertisements. Except for this one. Well, I should say "these" because there are a couple of new ones every year it seems, all with the same theme: giving your wife or husband a new car with a giant red bow on top. Yes, what a down to earth commercial. What should I get my honey for Christmas? Maybe some CDs, maybe a nice watch, maybe some clothing? Oh wait, maybe a brand new Lexus! And then I'll put a giant red bow on top of it to annoy the entire neighborhood! You can see the ad here. Watch as the woman tries to decide between some golf clubs, maybe a sweater, and then decides on...a $40,000 car. (Fantastic car though). 

You know what others are saying:

Woman: Hi Jim
Neighbor: Hi Sarah. Merry Christmas.
Woman: You too.
Neighbor: Hey, I saw you got Bill a new Lexus for Christmas.
Woman: Yup!
Neighbor: Everyone hates you Sarah.
