I really hate this new series of commercials from J.C. Penney. These are the commercials with the little animated runt of indeterminate ethnicity (though he mostly looks Hispanic), bouncing along with young school children to some hip-hop dreck for a soundtrack. Even the school bus has obnoxious chrome rims. The commercial would suggest that all such students listen to hip hop while wearing all the lastest trendy, urban-style clothing. Of course, this clothing is rarely the right size.
Fortunately, this ad campaign seems to be aimed at the back-to-school crowd, so I'm hoping it will be off the air sometime in September. Thankfully, that's not too far away.
I'm also not fond of McDonald's "I'm lovin' it" campaign. (You'll see I capitalized the "I" in that.) It's gotten to the point now where whenever Maryanne sees one of their ads, she sings the jingle, sans the "I'm lovin' it" bit. I've been trying to stop this by spouting a random obscenity in place of "I'm lovin' it," but it hasn't worked too well thus far.
