The Regretsy 2010 Christmas Special

Whining Ninnies and Special Snowflakes selling Hondas and Kias
My current "most annoying" commercial is the Holiday Honda commercial. According to my rigorous research (a one-minute google search) the song is by a band called Vampire Weekend. A whiny male voice repeats the word holiday over and over interspersed with lyrics I can't understand, while people and cardboard objects move herky jerky all over the set. I am guessing that the stop action is supposed cute and hand-crafted. Just annoying. It reminds me of the Kia christmas commercial. The hipster couple wearing long underwear and ironic christmas accesories drives me crazy. This is what happens when children are raised to think everything they do is special--insipid and unremarkable crap.
