Colin McEnroe Show: Holiday Advertising

It's the holiday season! Christmas, Hanukah, Christmakuh, Kwanza, or as advertisers like to think of it, the season when they separate you from your money.

Today on the Colin McEnroe Show, we're going to talk about Christmas advertising. You can't escape ads. They're on television, the radio, the internet... Everywhere except NPR, it seems. Do you love them? Do you hate them? What are your favorites? Coca Cola? Target? The House of Chow? And do they work on you? Can you think of stuff you bought just because of ads? Or, in this age of Tivo and Netflix, can you just skip past them all together?
