I loathe car company commercials at Christmas.

I mean really - the ones from Lexus (where they show not one but three cars with giant bows on them in front of a huge mansion) and Audi (where they show people donating their old cars to charity for shiny new Audis) are like the ultimate fuck you to poor people. And I mean really, where do you even get one of those giant bows?

1. If you don't buy your wife a Lexus you're a schmuck

is what they are saying.

I do know a schmuck who bought a Lexus for his wife for Christmas and the bow added another $200, he said. If I were buying a 45,000(?) car and they didn't throw in the bow for free, I'd tell them to piss off.

2. It's so unrealistic.

Three cars?

I get 12-14 luxury cars each Christmas.

Do some consumer research, morons.

3. If I never see another Jared ad it will 10 years too soon.

8. That's because you are an unromantic, stick in the mud, tightwad, who hates romance and puppies.

Don't you know if you don't buy your love one's polished rocks that they will hate you forever?

4. I mean, who lives like that?

Fuck Lexus.

I'd rather buy a Caddie anyway.

5. Hell yeah CTS-V coupe is my dream car!

[MrScorpio]

7. Or the CTS-V Wagon, baby!

6. I can't even begin to imagine the fight my parents would have if one of them had bought a car alone

If my mom were surprised with a car, she'd be livid that she didn't get to pick it out.

If my father had been surprised with a car, we'd be very lucky if he didn't have a heart attack when freaking out about how we're going to afford it. Some people were born to buy cars, my father was not one of these people. He'd worry about everything and then after mom and I showed him the research to indicate that we had the right car in mind he'd worry about the deal mom would negotiate. His favorite part was when it was all over and he'd go for a ride in the new car.

9. Where do you get one of those giant bows? That's easy.

They're made by poor people who could never hope to afford the cars.

10. I'd like to see someone say, "Fuck that bow! I wanted a blue bow! Worst. Christmas. Ever!" -nt
