Disgusting Kohl's commercial

[firecat88]

I couldn't find a link for it, which is why this post isn't in the 'Check It Out' section. If I ever do locate such a link, Mods, feel free to move this to the appropriate place.

Has anyone seen this year's Black Friday Sale commercial for Kohl's? It's horrible. For anyone who hasn't seen it- Basically, it's this woman singing gleefully about Black Friday shopping to the tune of what I think might've been that song 'Friday' that everyone hates so much. Some of the highlights include:

~ The singing she-beast holding an older woman back away from the door (like, actual putting her hand up to block the woman from going in) so she could get in first.

~The singing she-beast literally reaching into someone else's basket and grabbing something to deposit into her own (complete with the other shopper's appropriate reaction of ).

I don't know. Maybe the commercial was trying to come across as fun and cutesy with the song, but...I didn't find it amusing at all. To me, it just kinda screamed 'Suckstomers- The Musical'.

I've found that ALOT of commercials lately for big retail giants are disgusting lately. I don't know if they are trying to show people how horrible customers have been lately or show them what they look like during the holiday season or what, but to me it seems like a how to guide for SCs - "Oh! I never thought of doing that before!"

Oh yeah, the Target chick. She needs a few Xanax in her Thanksgiving eggnog, I think.

Kinda makes me thankful my company's commercials, if any, will just be made up of store employees describing some of the deals available.

I don't know which is worse, the Target chick or the Kohl's commercial. It's kind of a toss up at this point.

My comment on the video: "So Kohl's encourages darting in front of people and/or holding them back for the sake of playing the 'FIRST!' card and taking things from other people's carts? Good to know."

To be 100% honest, I haven't shopped at Kohl's for the longest time...Or more precisely, after they started their new "EVERYTHING IS RETURNABLE" thing. I realize it was probably done to encourage customers to 'shop with confidence' or some crap like that...but ewww.

I think if some bitch put her hand in my face to prevent me from going through a door, she'd find her arm wrenched out of its socket. Same if she grabbed something from my cart.

There is something fundamentally wrong with a culture that encourages, even celebrates blatant rudeness.

Did ya notice that the same older woman that she blocked from the door at the beginning that she cut in front of at the register, at the end of the commerical

Selfishness knows no bounds. But stores don't have to encourage it in their consumers.

I saw Target's commercial and went

yeah the creepy woman in the red "running suit" is just ........ (I think they used the same set of commmercials like 2 or 3 years in a row now) and employees wonder why the "customer" feedback is saying "WE WANT YOU TO OPEN AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE!!!!!" all they seem to do is promote the "Get there ASAP on Thanksgiving day, WE WILL BE OPEN for your convience" (not caring that most of the employees will NOT be getting to spend Turkey day with anyone but their pillow)

Oh yeah, the Target chick. She needs a few Xanax in her Thanksgiving eggnog, I think.

.

the hell with Xanax she needed a small dose of Propofol/Diprovan (the coma-inducing drug) AS I feel that is the ONLY way she will sit still and come down off of the speed trip

I like how you think.

Best of all, Propofol can blend into the eggnog inconspicuously.

Remind me never to drink eggnog with either Irv or Racket_Man.

I tweeted that I saw the Target commercial for Black Friday like last week. I wanted to hide, but I just changed the channel. She's annoying as heck.

I've also mentioned to Clyde that I think the writers for commercials are either getting lazy or have no new original ideas for their commercials. They're awful. (The T-Mobile 4G commercial? Listening to it, I swear they say "Orgy").

I just got this commercial while watching Amazing Race online.
