Okay, I'm taking a short break from my movie rants to address a problem that has been coming to my attention quite frequently recently. Why do commercials during the holidays promote couples? I was watching tv and I swear within a 30 minute period I must have seen 4 Zales commercials! Why? I feel like I am constantly being slammed with this promotion of marriage. And it only increases during the holidays!
I know that holidays are generally the time you spend with the ones you love. Places like Zales are just taking advantage of that in their commercials. However, when you are constantly hounded by commercials with flowers, jewelry, "get her what she wants this holiday season," and vice versa... it
all gets a little overwhelming!
You can call me bitter and you can even call me a Scrooge but in reality I think you see my point. The holidays should be a time of celebration and peace not of being hounded by some commercial that makes you begin to feel inadequate! So join with me and say no to commercials like Zales! It's Christmas not Valentine's Day!
