Just saw my first "Lexus with a big red ribbon" commercial of the year.

[Critters2]

It is on! :banghead:

[Danger Mouse]

1. In protest, you should eat a Lexus. That's what I plan to do.

THAT'LL SHOW YOU!!

[Critters2]

2. Are they vegan? nt

[Danger Mouse]

3. Yeah, unless they have leather interior.

4. I Hate Those Commercials Too

Exactly for whom are these commercials made, especially now?

5. People who are well insulated against the economic uncertainty

The Bu$hites have dealt to the rest of us - i.e. the Uber-rich, who are the only people who could possibly afford a Lexus anyway.

Only nice thing I can say is that they're less obnoxious than Hummer customers. But not by much.

[ProfessorGAC]

6. Yeah, But That's Me!

My wife and i own our house. We have one small car loan, but have two really nice cars and decent third one. (I drive it in the winter and park my ragtop for the winter.)

My 401k didn't take a beating because i'm heavy into bonds, and my personal investments were positive for the year.

We won't be worrying about food upon my retirement.

So, per your suggestion, that commercial is about me, but i think it's a ridiculous concept.

So, i'm still asking myself the same question. Who are those commercials for?

16. Those who are in your financial situation, but

who are more interested in conspicuous consumption than you are?

[ProfessorGAC]

17. I Accept That In Two Ways

1) That is the most likely astute answers.
2) As a compliment! Thanks, much.

7. I know what you mean...

that commercial makes me crazy. :mad:

8. Saw Cadillac ads for their SUV (Escalade). It's on sale for

around $58,000.
Lists for nearly $70,000.

Hope they didn't make too many....

9. damn if i wasn't that kid playing the atari 2600 on christmas day 1982

i didn't get centipede that christmas, but i did get it later

[Not a robought]

10. And so it begins...

the war on Christmas.

[Frank Cannon]

11. I saw that too

I actually burst out laughing.

[jakefrep]

12. Isn't car-buying a joint decision for most married couples?

I'm not sure I would want my SO to pick out a car for me.

[madinmaryland]

13. I hate all the fucking christmas commercials. It's like you are supposed to spend

a brazillion dollars on crap that has nothing to do with christmas. :grr: I hate how everything holiday has just been an excuse for crass commercialism.

[GreenPartyVoter]

14. I loathe those commercials too

[Crazy Dave]

15. Yeah...it's like you really don't love your spouse unless you spend $60k on her/him

:puke:

[dembotoz]

18. i will be lucky to get underwear this year

but then again....she really DOES hate me......
