"He went to Jared".

[Bunny]

I would like to kill the numbskull who came up with this vapid, inane, and generally idiotic ad campaign. Yes, kill them. :mad:

[Hugin]

1. Until now... I'd never heard of what you speak.

Thanks for sharing, Jared.

[Bunny]

11. If you are a guy, don't dare go anyplace but Jared for all your

jewelry gift-giving needs! If you are a woman, heap scorn on any man who does not get you jewelry from Jared!

[Hugin]

16. *sigh* As if I didn't have enough problems...

I guess I should take the cement mixer I got my sweetie back...

It violated the 'no power cords' rule anyhow.

[Bunny]

17. Hey, not so fast there, bud.

She would likely be the only woman on the block with a cement mixer, so you'd get big points for originality. Just food for thought...

[Hugin]

19. Does Jared stock cement mixers?

It'd only be acceptable if it came from there.

So, I'm told.

[miss_american_pie]

2. OMG

Is it just me, or are all the jewelry commercials horrible this year?

[Bunny]

4. The Jared ones are the only ones I really notice, to tell you the truth.

They drive me up the wall!

[miss_american_pie]

13. There's a billboard around here

With the copy "She's perfect. Should her diamond be anything less?" Makes me want to :puke:

[ghostsofgiants]

22. "She's perfect, why should that African civil war you're funding be anything less?"

:evilgrin:

[otherlander]

23. ...

:rofl:

[azmouse]

3. I like to slap everyone in that commercial

but especially the woman who looks at her husband like he's a piece of shit because he didn't "go to Jared". :grr:

[Bunny]

6. Yep! I think if the guy was smart, he would take the gift back from

her and return it to the store! The ungrateful snot!

[BarenakedLady]

5. I'm glad I don't watch network tv

Sounds like a stupid ad. Why is it assumed that all women crave jewelry anyway? I don't.

[Hugin]

7. You'd rather have a tree house...

With a tiny little fridge in there?

I assume. ;)

[BarenakedLady]

10. You know me so well.

:rofl:

[Hugin]

15. We could sit around in there and watch the X-files with no lights on...

Okay, so I had to go to 'One Week' for more lyrics.

:D

[BarenakedLady]

20. danse la maison?

:thumbsup:

I probably screwed up the spelling there. hehe

[ghostsofgiants]

24. First of all, grrr, evil earworm.

Second of all, that is actually my plan for the night.

[Bunny]

8. I don't know why that is assumed either. I like jewelry, and getting

jewelry as gifts. But I would never be so rude as to bust someone's chops because he did not go to a particular jewelry store.

The guy in the commercial should divorce her! :D

[buddhamama]

9. me either,

if someone were to buy me a piece of jewelry, especially if it contained gold or diamonds, i'd have to assume they didn't know me very well and if that were the case, probably shouldn't be buying me jewelry to begin with. :)

[trof]

12. Yes, but every kiss begins with 'Kaye'.

;-)

We used to have a jewelry store in Birmingham for the...ahem...'lower classes'.
You could buy on credit.
Dollar down and a dollar a week type of thing.

Its name was KING KREDIT!
I still remember the radio jingle.

"Got BAD credit?
Got NO credit?
KING CREDIT DON'T CARE!
JUST PLAIN DON'T CARE!"

I often wonder how many times they sold and repossessed the same ring or necklace?
I imagine their interest rates were usurious.

[Bunny]

14. Kaye's - that is only slightly less irritating. I will give them some credit

for originality, and not promoting horrible manners. :hi:

[cwydro]

18. I just saw that ad the other day

I couldn't believe it...sure wouldn't encourage me to buy there.

[RedStateShame]

21. Just block it out and replace it with "Herbie doesn't like to make toys!"

It's a lot more enjoyable. :rofl:

[terrya]

25. That is a ridiculously stupid ad campaign.

Even more annoying than another campaign featuring the name Jared...

[SOteric]

26. What? - The Subway guy is selling jewelry now?

:shrug:

[Rabrrrrrr]

27. I don't think I've seen it.

I can tell by the other posts that it's a jewelery commercial.

What's the ad's content that you find so irritable?

[Left Is Write]

28. My daughter was just telling me about these ads yesterday.

We don't have a Jared, so I'd never heard of or seen them.

I do want to through my TV out the window, though, every time I hear, "Every kiss begins with Kay."

[lildreamer316]

29. THANK you.

Been driving me nuts.
Mute the tv; I have.......

[PittPoliSci]

30. oh the radio ads are the worst.

that singing "it could only be jaaaaaaaareeeeed!!"

my ears scream.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

31. yup it's brainwashing

Those jewelry stores reinforce the idea that your man doesn't love you, really, unless he gets you a semi worthless piece of cubic carbon that really should die and be reborn in heaven as a grinding wheel, it's so bad.

I guess that's for all the gold digging women. There are gold digging men out there too, but they generally don't want you to buy them jewelry. They prefer things to go fast in!!

I hate jewelry brainwashing. It's a ripoff and they're selling crap. If you like jewelry get something unusual and high quality.

Bet you couldn't walk into any mall store and say, "I wanna see a minimum one-carat D-flawless diamond" and get anywhere. D-flawless is the best GIA grade that there is.

This is what happens when ya got too much education (GIA Diamond Grading certificate I got just for fun). You can tell the good stuff from the bad stuff, and the good stuff is NOT at the mall.

Besides, diamonds are pretty boring.

MY Honey told a woman at work he was living with me for many years. She said "You need to buy her an ENGAGEMENT RING!!" . He came home and said "Do I need to buy you a ring?" and I said, "Hell, no, that dumb broad is brainwashed. I've got plenty of good jewelry that was my mother's and besides, we can't afford it. I know you love me because you show me you care every day. Arrrrghhh!!"

:wtf:

[Zomby Woof]

32. HEAD ON!!! APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE JARED!!!

:crazy:

[jobycom]

33. Ah, yes, and you've just proven its genius and ensured their further employment.

Commercials don't care if you love them, they only care if you remember them. I couldn't have told you there was a jewelry store name Jareds a months ago. Now I know of it. So next time I'm looking for jewelry, not that that ever happens, it will be one of the big names rolling around in my head. I might go to it, I might be so annoyed with their commercial that I won't... But I will have to consider it, because it's one of the few jewelry stores I know.

Bam. Successful advertising. And you've just added to its success, without costing them a cent. :)

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

34. Sorry, but "Jared" just does not sound like a jewelry store to me.

Every time I hear those ads, I think of a kid I knew in high school. He was drugged out idiot.

[Deep13]

35. "...kill the numbskull who came up with ..."

I have a hammer if you need one.
