Stop Excessive Spending, but No One’s Ever Asked for a Smaller Gift


16 Dec

(More ranting against luxury car commercials.) I hate the current advertising slogans. Its like the people who write these things do not live in the real world.

Acura wants us to put an end to excessive holiday spending and buy an Acura. Perhaps they do not know what excessive means?

Lexus tells us that no one ever wanted a smaller gift. They apparently don’t have wives or girlfriends who have ever dreamed of the perfect diamond earrings.

I know I’m not the target audience, but having a slogan that actively makes me dislike you doesn’t seem like a good plan.

Surprise! It’s a 5 Year Loan

Luxury car commercials always annoy me to some extent- who needs real silver dust polished in to the dashboard? But around the holiday season, it’s worse.

Every we have the conversation regarding one of us buying the other a car as a gift. And the decision is- don’t do it, bad plan. Even if you can afford to pay cash for a car (which most of us can’t), does this really seem like a good unilateral decision? (Then there’s the Buick commercial where the wife gets the husband a car and he’s all happy until he sees a new Buick…)
