"Every kiss begins with Kay's"

[Geekbabe]

I think this one gets my vote for the most naseating commerical ever.Do these companies think we're all stupid or something?

 

[Syringer]

How does stupidity have anything to do with it? It's just a jingle that's been seemingly effective at getting its message across.

 

[ConstipatedVigilante]

Yes, yes they do.

 

[imported_LoKe]

I like it.

Kay's sells POS jewerly at high prices and the commericals themselves are an insult to thinking women.

To begin, are their really men who act like the guys in those ads? Seriously, they need to be given their nutsacks back if they exist.

I find it slightly less annoying than the Jared / Weisfields / etc. ads where everyone is gasping in shock that the boyfriend / husband shopped at the one proper source of the shiny stuff.

(women)
He shopped at Blah?
How'd he know about Blah!?!?

(men)
How'd you know to shop at Blah?
My dad told me . . . not really, he's stupid like me, my mom told him to tell me.

Oh come on!

If you got a fancy piece of jewelry from Red Dawn that came from Kay's (unbeknownst to you), your knees would probably get wobbly and there would most definitely be some whoopie that night.

I love it when women say that they don't fall for that kind of stuff, but flash some bling in their eyes and it's like a woman flashin' a guy her tits. :laugh:

Yeah, because commercials have always been realistic. :roll:

No I wouldn't go weak at the knees at the gift of jewelery from any source,that's money that could be saved and invested for our future needs.If I wanted "bling" I'd buy my own,hell I've got a handmade $1,500 designer belt made with gold that's been worn exactly once.

So are you against fancy jewelry in general, or from Kay's in specific?

Because it's been proven to work, over and over and over again.

Companies have big marketing departments because marketing (for some reason) actually works. They know how the masses think, they know that the masses try to emulate whatever they see on TV, and they also know that they can tell people, "You want this thing that you would otherwise never even think of buying. You want it. You need it. You are worthless without it. You will pay us money to have this thing. Now go buy it!" People, instead of saying, "Yeah, you can go F yourselves!" instead say, "I need this thing I totally need it I am willing to buy it and do anything you say."
And so marketing continues to work.

Now go buy some crystalline rocks with a high refractive index, dammit!

So you say that the money could be better used elsewhere, then brag about having a $1,500 belt you don't wear?

I'm not ""against" anything, jewelery just isn't something I place a high value on,now if my husband got me a gift card to say, the Supino brothers home heating oil company,now that would get me excited.

As to Kay's.. I'm of the thought that when you buy something you should get the best,even if it means you choose a smaller or different kind of stone or go with a simple gold piece. I think chain stores like Kay's make big money on crappy jewelry.

I won the belt,no cash money of mine paid for it and if ever I come across somebody who'd like to trade/barter something for it,it will be gone.My point was that ín my list of priorities,jewelery doesn't come high on the list.

Different people like different things. I can't understand why someone would pay $500-$5000 for a watch, and I'll make my opinions known, but I don't think any less of that person.

Next thing you're gonna tell me is that every other woman also doesn't have a new lexus in the driveway.

OK, then why not just say that "Jewelry advertising in general doesn't work on me."

Some people put a high value on jewelry just as some people put a high value on their cars, or their hobbies or their children which they dress up like fashion dolls.

Not say that any of that is wrong, but whatever floats your boat...

Good lord, I don't think less of people who like fine jewelery, I find Kay's commericals noxious because they depict men as simpering pansies and women as sleazy sluts who have to be given overpriced sparklies in order to kiss their husbands? and their target auidence is probably the group of people who can least afford to be be buying overpriced crap jewelery on payments.

And this is different from just about any other commercial on TV because????

"BMW 328i 2 year lease for $399 per month"
"50-inch plasma, no money down, no interest for 12 months"

etc, etc.

Whatever they're doing, it's working. In the 21st century, women expect jewelery. Now, don't get me wrong, I know not all women are the same, but deep down there's that desire for something flashy and expensive and I don't think you could honestly tell me you're any different. Men have little to do with the equation, because if they don't buy something big and nice, they have to face the look of disappointment.

Women have put men in an ugly spot, one where it's too dangerous to mess around with mixed signals.

You got that right. Buddy of mine in our close circle of friends bought his wife a $12,000 engagement ring.

And what's the first thing that all the women in our group did when they saw her ring? Oh how many carats? Can I see it?

Then they all start putting their rings up beside to see how theirs measured up -- pretty poorly I must say. You could just see the look of greed and jealousy in their eyes.

Lol, I gave my husband my Xmas list a few days ago... there is one item on that list
I want a pink fleece hoodie type jacket with a hood,probably cost no more than $25.

I value a lot of things but over priced babbles aren't on the list and I think such commericals border on emotional extortion.

12K that could have been invested to help buy a home wasted on a ring? some women are amazingly stupid.
