Oh boy, someones getting a lump of coal!

Way to go Best Buy, ya had to go and piss off Santa.. Thought you were being so clever in your holiday ads touting how your gifts are better than Santas..  See the spot here

 

Well, not so funny today are they? If we ever wanted proof that Santa is real.. Google best buy and Santa today… and your CMO, does he, or she still have a job? Or is the argument that the ads worked so well that you could not keep up with demand.. Well.. that’s an argument until you realize that because of your Bad Santa ads, in combination with a poor delivery system, of which Santa is the best in the world by the way…. you have royally pissed off everyone, and now what would have been a simple can’t supply stuff story because its all sold out, it turns into a larger story. And all your good will is shot. The only good thing to come of all this, is I now truly believe in Santa, I gave up on that when I was 10, but man oh man, I believe now.. And love it.. Santa Rules the supply chain now as well.. Thanks Best Buy for renewing my faith in Christmas.
