I didn't need a stupid Black Friday commercial to boycott Kohl's.

One little girl with a dumb song pisses off a nation. And we though WE could troll.

Meh, advertising usually sucks. This just sucks more.

In this era of partisan strife and discontent, Americans may seem more divided than at any time since the Civil War. But there is one thing on which we can all agree: Man, that song is annoying.

This Thanksgiving, I am thankful for Rebecca Black and Kohls for reminding us that, despite our differences, there are some values that all Americans share.

FTFM.

\can gratefully say that I've missed this ad, and I'm sure as fark am not going to click on the link to hear it
\\even more sure I'm not going near any Retail Hell spot that day

I don't go to Kohl's anyway, so I'll happily join in that boycott by continuing to do what I'm doing.

I could have went to my grave without ever having to listen to that earworm again. The remote was on the other side of the room , I thought I was safe.. ARRGGGHH!

I thought it was vaguely clever. Then there's the T-Mobile ad where they sing about "Walking in a 4G wonderland," which my brain inevitably hears as "Walking in an orgy wonderland." That probably says bad things about my psyche.

I head this on the radio during my commute this morning, and almost careened off of the interstate. How could they POSSIBLY have thought this was a good idea?!? Anyone who catches the reference will be immediately filled with rage, and anyone who DOESN'T will just think it's a much, MUCH $#!+tier jingle than usual. That's a "lose-lose."

You may find this hard to believe but I really had never heard that song until that commercial and someone had to explain it to me. Wow. If Bill Hicks had been alive to see that commercial, his rant on the marketing industry might not have been so kind.

The real tragedy is that Khol's has 12am black Friday sale.

Really? You're gonna stand in line for 6+ hours for crappy clothes?

I hear "Walking in abortion wonderland," on the first chorus line then I hear "Walking in an orgy wonderland." on the second.

Yeah, it should really be the other way 'round.

I made an active effort to never encounter that song, either, so I had no idea until I saw the Fark thread. I think there are way more offensive commercials out there, not knowing what that was. Like the blonde Target lady, for example.

We can definitely dislike more than one commercial at a time. And hating this commercial doesn't mean we are "crying," it means if given the choice, we will skip shopping at Kohl's. Any store that opens at midnight is made up of assholes anyway.

My TiVo and the ability to skip holiday commercials is the only thing that's going to keep me sane for the next 5 or 6 weeks.

Every Friday, since her song came out, I play it over the speakers in my office at some point during the day. All of the employees hate me. Fun Fun Fun!

My wife dragged me into a Kohls ONCE. Nothing but cheap crap EVERYWHERE, I couldn't find the exit fast enough.

That's the point of Kohls. They do have good inexpensive clothes, though.

I get my dress shirts at Kohl's.

I am proud to admit I've never heard the Friday song, though it seems like that distinction will soon come to an end thanks to Kohl's.

I resisted as long as I could. I'm not even "screw you, I'm not watching funny internet video cause you say so!" guy. I just never have gotten around to it.

anyway, I like Kohl's.

Their shiat's waaaaay overpriced though :/
