Gag me with a spoon.


I know this Christmas spot for the Ford Fusion is supposed to be adorable. Am I a Grinch to find it obnoxious? We have a pretty young girl of about twelve sitting on Santa's lap. Though she is not old enough to drive, she indicates what she wants is a Ford Fusion. When asked what color she wants, she advises him that she will send him some swatches, and finally insults him by suggesting he consider a makeover.. So basically we are supposed to find this spoiled little bitch charming. Another example of a commercial that uses a thoroughly unlikeable person to pitch their product.
