When it comes to marketing, the department store Kohl’s generally puts on good ads. However, sometimes they make mistakes; everyone does, but Kohl’s mistake is more egregious due to the presence of viral video superstar Rebecca Black. That’s right, Kohl’s went all out with a Black Thursday/Friday ad featuring Rebecca Black’s Friday. Kohl’s Rebecca Black Friday ad is terrible. Just watch this and tell me it’s not the worst thing ever.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGiQzPi0f_EI feel bad for Julie Mann, the poor actress involved in this ad. I’m sure it’ll make her a good payday, but man, it is going to make me hate her for no good reason. Even worse, it makes me feel bad for Rebecca Black, because the Kohl’s marketing folks kind of butcher her song (and it was already butchered, so it’s like grinding up sausages to make a larger, worse-tasting sausage!). I mean, they do have a sense of humor about how terrible their parody is (“something that rhymes with Friday,” “can’t get this darn song out of my head”), but just because you’re smiling doesn’t mean it’s not still torture!
