You know how, when someone gives you a horrible gift, you lie and say it's the perfect thing? Don't you wish could just exclaim, "Are you seriously trying to insult me with this?" Or, "You know what makes the baby Jesus cry? This gift." BBDO's new holiday scratchers ad for the Georgia Lottery does away with seasonally enforced insincerity and lets the giftees say what they're thinking, with amusing results. Five friends gather around a fireplace for a gift exchange, and they're all disappointed, to say the least.
