Holiday Commercials

Again, pretend this was writen during the holidays! Never got a chance to post it. Better late than never! :-)

The Holidays are here! There are Christmas lights all over town. The kids are talking about what gifts they want, and the television has… GONE INSANE!!! Why is there another commercial for a watch? For a perfume?? What’s going on????

Spain (and maybe all of Europe?) seems to have this fascination with two things: perfumes and watches. Or at least that’s what they try to sell the most during the Holidays. It is insane how many commercials are there for Armani colognes and Gucci watches. They show gorgeous men with fancy watches and sexy women spraying on perfume. I can’t believe how many perfumes and watches are out there. More, how many perfume and watch commercials are out there. This is all they play on TV between shows. And I am not exaggerating. That is ALL they play between shows! No signs of car commercials. No hint of cell phones anywhere. They just play the same commercials over and over and over and over. I practically became best friends with Armani.

I can’t believe I’m going to say this but… Bring back my car commercials!

P.S. My roommate says that Europe in general is a big fan of colognes, perfumes and watches. There is also a BIG market for the fake stuff. (Though don’t walk around France with imitation because the cops will fine you!)

P.P.S. Ironically, this year, I didn’t get any of these items. Gasp! What would Armani (my best bud) think?!

P.P.P.S. The Holidays are now over and the television commercials are back to normal. Nothing like cars and cell phones coverage to make you feel complete! ;-)
