Priorities
I saw a commercial as I was drifting off to sleep last night that made me just sit straight up.
It was for Zales Jewelry. Suggesting that you purchase diamonds to celebrate this upcoming holiday.
They weren't talking Christmas.
They said Veterans Day.
Diamonds for Veterans Day??? WTF??
When I worked for the Mattress company Veterans Day and Memorial Day were two of our biggest sales days. That made no sense to me.
But this? When did we start giving GIFTS for Veterans Day? Can any woman out there, other than a Veteran - cause that's the only person I can think of who should get a gift on that day - ever get a gift? Let alone DIAMONDS?!?!?!?!
What the hell are we doing? Where are our priorities?

Huh? You mean to say that you see NO connection between celebrating military men and mattresses?
Silly, naive little girl ;-)

I am not sure what niche market they were after, but it was weird...
Another funny one kiddo. And the comments hysterical. If I had a military man, I'd buy him a tie clip with a diamond, or maybe some cufflinks, but then his buddies would rag on him for getting sissified. Come to think of it, you're right it's not a good Idea.

I know that is what I would want...
