amanda_loddenTonight's rant-inspiring commercial is one for DSW, in which a shoe goes over to a neighbor shoe's house to sing a parody of Jingle Bells about how much the neighbor shoe's gift sucks.
This pisses me off no end. I don't care what you receive for Christmas. I don't care how much you hate it. YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO ANY GIFT AT ALL. Gifts are not a right. If you expect a gift, you are doing it wrong. If you're getting crappy gifts, then perhaps you should step back and consider whether your friends are getting you gifts because they want to get you gifts or because they are being emotionally blackmailed into doing so.
If one of my friends or neighbors or family members ever sang a song like the one in that commercial, I would not go get them a gift card in a desperate attempt to please them, as the commercial suggests I should. I would never buy them another gift ever.
