Gap Christmas Commercial: I Love Those Comfy Sweaters, How Cute Are These Boots

Christmas is coming and I hate Christmas shopping. Truth be told, I was more excited about the 787 taking it's first flight today than I am about Christmas. Does that make me Scrooge? Ehhh...so be it.

But I have to admit I love the new Gap commercial for "comfy sweaters." Scratch that. Like Racked NY said, the phrase "I love my comfy sweaters" simultaneously fills me with joy and yet also makes me want to put a bullet in my brain.

If you haven't seen it yet, well then I am pretty sure the CIA needs to talk to you because you obviously have been living in the cave Osama Bin Laden is living in. But just in case here you go...


But then it got even better. What's better than cute girls excited over Christmas? That's right: 20-something boys imitating cute, excited girls. Enjoy!



Enjoy the holiday fun. I'll be sure to write something more thought provoking later.

I love your blog, but I HATE these commercials! I love children but not these. Makes me never want to wear sweaters or celebrate Christmas again. Apparently I feel
strongly about this ;) Fun post! Merry Christmas! PS: I'm thinking about coming to visit Abbey in May to see a race in SC. You should come!

Gravatar.com I love that commerical!!! And that's my fav part too! And you are a Scrooge since you won't give me a Christmas present. I'm bringing that up at the Black meeting.

Preach it brother!

Honestly, this is the first time I see it. I usually avoid watching commericals anyway and that goes doubly so around Christmas (got to avoid all the nauseating jewelry commericals, especially Jared).

I gotta admit, the college guys parody was pretty funny. ;)

Don't even get me started. I pay for all your meals and movie tickets and what not under the Balack Dalama Stimulus / Reparations Act of 2009. It is almost like we are dating only I get none of the benefits...shoot...that is not the change I was looking for.

Ohh don't even get me started on that one. The whole "diamonds will get you blown" campaign drives me nuts. They need to just come out and say it like Family Guy does:

Well if that's the case maybe you should have gone to Jared. :)

You know I almost posted a link to that one (or rather this shorter one). But I agree. Not that there aren't women to whom that applies, but if I want to be with a hooker I want to be with one who is honest about the nature of our relationship.

Andy Borgmann said in a tweet...Is it odd that when I saw the itinerary Tiger booked for Miss Uchitel that my 1st feeling was jealousy over the types of planes she flew on?


Not odd at all. I mean, your first thought at seeing Miss Uchitel should be "I'd hit that" but upon seeing the itinerary, what else could a guy think?
But there is remedy for you. Just start an affair/relationship/whatever with someone like Maria Sharapova or Serena Williams (two top female athlete earners according to Forbes.)


Btw, I am surprised that so many on the Forbes list are golfers since I don't know any golfers, male or female, other than Tiger Woods himself.

Description
Andy's blog aims to be like a Scrubs episode, mixed with a Chuck Klosterman column, centered around the topic of faith. It is open, honest, raw, and a little embarrassing. It is a place to discuss religion, politics, ministry, pop culture, and well, just life - especially focused on the time of life we call our 20s!

Andy is the Executive Producer of The Allen Hunt Show; a progressive (in the literal sense), talk radio show based in Atlanta, GA aimed at bringing faith back into the public discussion. Andy enjoys travel, aviation, web design, politics, friends, and faith. He holds that the secret to a full life is loving God and loving people - which he fails at constantly.

Andy grew up in Fort Wayne, IN. He now lives in Alpharetta, GA.

More information about Andy can be found at www.2timothy42.org or Andy's Facebook.

P.S. As has been mentioned on air, Andy is horrible at grammar and spelling. Please excuse any mistakes, trust me, he's sorry.
