My homicidal tendencies usually lie deeply latent, but during the heavy selling at Christmas by this guy...
my angry inner self rises to the top like foam on fresh eggnog.
If I see one more pathetic fakey couple smooching while someone croons "...every kiss begins with Kay", I am going to dust off my nunchucks and do some damage.
Now I hate to bite the hand that has a diamond in it, because personally I like sparklies, but my lips will not be held hostage by someone named Kay who makes the corniest, most pathetic gag-inducing advertising campaign on the planet.
And do you recognize Kay's top salesman?
Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman
She says she designed this
to look like "an open heart"
Well excuse me Dr. Quinn. I know that you were trained in a one room medical school somewhere on the prairie, but that is no excuse for this pathetic rendition of man's finest organ. If you consult your "Grey's Anatomy" you will find a couple other body parts your little trinket resembles much more closely.
Listen up Kay, whoever you are, and write this down so I don't have to repeat it.

Oh, yes! I'd like to put a sparkle in Kay's stocking--like a firecracker or bullet. Do they think everyone just waits around each Christmas for their ugly jewelry. And yes, I do say that mainly out of jealousy and spite. So there.
Power to you! I'm no jewelry fan, but yes, that is a pretty self-important commercial. :)
I loves me some diamonds, but you go girl! I am also a bit jaded by those who have the a lot (money etc, yes I know they worked hard - but hey so did we!), designing for the rest of the folks on the rung just below. We are suppose to just love it! But really is half bad, only good enough for the lower rung group? Oh, sorry I have to go to work now.
I hate those commercials. I don't like the pressure they put on our loved ones to buy chinzy crap. If I want something in particular, I'll ask for it.
I hate those commercials too. I bet ol' Dr. Quinn got the idea for that shape when she stepped out of the shower one morning and caught a glimpse of her pre-lipo'd body in the mirror.
Yay for testicular (or mammary) insinuations!
I've been staring for too long at the "open heart" to decipher its resemblance to another anatomical part. Now all I see is a broken cobra. Or perhaps really weird mammaries.
And what does that even mean "keep your heart open"? That itself is questionable.
yes, great post. thank you.
I know, right?? "Open heart" my foot (or insert name of other body part that is more closely resembled by this necklace).
Since we seem to share the same distaste for these marketing abominations, I must highly recommend the following video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzLWn3xTGL4
Also thanks for the book recommendation! Added it to the list.
I hate those commercials too! Yea! I'm not alone!
heehee
Have to agree that their commercials are singularly insipid.
=)
PS. And I hadn't noticed the (cough, cough) configurations of the lovely "open heart" creation by Jane. ;)
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who can't stand those commercials!!
Yeah, those commercials are pretty ridiculous. And the open heart - just plain ugly.
Now that you've pointed it out, I shall never look at that necklace/ad again without seeing not a heart, but other body parts. And then laughing uproariously.
Gad, am I the only one who likes jewelry commercials? They'd be better if they featured jewelry I really liked, but... I mean, kiss really does begin with K so I can't argue too much. The one I like less is "He went to Jarrod!!" What IS Jarrod??? I wish Tiffany would advertise, but that might push me over the edge. KayJarrod I can just dismiss with a "Pffft!" but Tiffany... I might covet that.
Amen, sister. To be honest, that "open heart" design looks like a "Z" to me and makes me think of Zales, not Kay. LOL Talk about poor advertising!
THANK YOU!!!
I really do get pissed off every time I see one of those darn commercials. My family members or husbands can oft hear me say... "NO IT DOESN'T!!!" I'm glad another woman shares the same opinion.
