A REASON TO SAY "HUMBUG." I find Lexus's faux-lounge-Christmas-piano-music particularly annoying, and it's on at least twice an hour on any cable channel with delusions of serving an audience with disposable income. (At least I have not ... yet ... heard it on a ring tone!)

Although this comment to this post takes rather a cynical a view of the motives one might have for buying such a Christmas present, I must confess to imagining a voice-over to the commercial with the guy looking at the bling and then noticing the Lexus cute-ute outside the jewelry store. Don't know whether I want him mulling "will she forgive me for boinking the nanny?" or "this should keep her pacified if she finds out."
