Kids: Write to Best Buy Instead of Santa



This commercial just comes off a little too arrogant. I expect companies to compare themselves to their competition but taking on Santa? What will the children think Best Buy?! You really shouldn't present them with a Santa that is so inept that he has to rely on an ordinary (albeit very short) Best Buy employee to save Christmas.

Just look at how terrible they make Santa look:
1. He apparently has crashed his sleigh into a snowman and then just abandoned the wreckage.
2. He obviously procrastinated on getting his employee elves to work on toys for the coming Christmas.
3. For being someone known to be jolly, he is awfully pessimistic and quick to cancel Christmas.

So go ahead Best Buy, completely rewrite the mythology and tell the world you're way better than every child's favorite person in the month of December and that without you he would be nothing.

Oh, and that joke at the end about lower gastrointestinal bleeding was in bad taste too.
