Is it weird that I'm okay with parodies of the claymation Christmas specials of my youth, but am furious that they are using the island of misfit Toys t5o sell cell phone coverage? It makes me extra angry that it's for one of those attack add ones. I hate negative commercials whether for politicians or products. It's like they are not only pimping out that dentist elf, but turning all those toys into douche bags. I supose it's weirdly hypocritical that i liked those first season mad TV godfather/Rudolph cross over parodies, but somehow that felt like art and this just feels like the phone company is pissing on my childhood memories. I felt the same way about using the scarecrow to sell... whatever that was last year.
