I just saw a K-Mart commercial on TV for Joe Boxer and it made me chuckle.
Then I got online and did a google search and found that some people found it offensive.

The commercial shows a bunch of guys literally shaking their balls to the tune of Jingle Bells. I found it on Youtube.

As a commercial, it certainly did its job. It gets people's attention.

What's the verdict? Funny or Offensive?

I think it's silly in a fun way.

It may be in bad taste, but it's not really offensive. I think it's pretty funny but I can see why some people wouldn't like it.

As a keyboard player, I must say the moves between the players is correct for the song.

hahahahahahahaha @ Ralph. :)

I think it is funny, and very clever. The advertising team K Mart has now has done some good commercials. People are posting it all over Facebook, with mostly positive remarks. It's posted here. :) They're getting attention for the brand, and that's what good advertising is all about.

K-Mart has latched on to a new way of mass advertising: bypass TV because you have much more creative freedom on YouTube, and that's where the target audience is today. TV is for old people.

I watch tv and I'm old. But ain't I allowed to be here and YouTube too? Or is it restricted to age ;)

It's quite amusing; I think you'd have to be pretty straight-laced to find this offensive.

NBC. I've also seen in it on cable channels a couple of times.

Obviously the same ad firm that did those brilliant Sofia Vergara K-Mart commercials. They'll be winning some awards.
