I was not a fan of Target's scary 2-Day Sale commercials from Wieden + Kennedy that appeared around Thanksgiving. And I am so not a fan of the latest holiday Target ads that Wieden is now running on heavy rotation. (Neither is Barbara Lippert.) One spot is posted below; check out six more here. There's just something about having your neighbor accuse you of being ostentatious, Mom and Dad fighting about money on Christmas morning, a little girl whose Christmas is ruined by worrying about money, and that moment when you realize your girlfriend is just not that into you—it all makes me want to strike my whole Christmas list and wonder why I even bother trying.
