Bad comedians are always like, "What's up with Christmas advertising starting earlier every year?" Those bad comedians, as usual, are absolutely right. The start of Christmas advertising this year was way earlier than last year. You already missed it!

Ad-watcher Stuart Elliott saw it all go down:

  • Abercrombie & Fitch may have won the Christmas ad race by beginning on October 24. Congrats, jerks!
  • "Best Buy, which last year started its Christmas campaign on Nov. 11, will introduce its first holiday ads for 2010 on Monday."
  • All the other Christmas shit starts this month too, before Thanksgiving.

Only 54 shopping days left! Egg nog! Debt!
