A Ballsy & Bellsy Christmas Tune: Kmart's "Show Your Joe" Commercial
For some, the latest Kmart commercial pushes the boundaries of good taste. For others, it's almost as funny as "Ship My Pants!"
Published
Kmart's ad wizards have done it again! After the infamy of their last viral commercial, "Ship My Pants", the company delivers a second envelope-pushing (or just juvenile) can't-help-but-go-viral ad for the holidays.
The ad spot in question seems designed to make people get their boxers in a bunch over it, after all, you can't help but ponder the anatomical realities of what we're seeing and most people just won't be comfortable with having that shoved into their faces. (Think of the children!) But, with over 10 million views, whether you love it or hate it, we'd say it's doing its job.
What do you think, readers? Inappropriate, or just ... cheeky? Let us know what's on your mind in the comments below.
