New Jobs for Negative Political Ad Writers

From Wal Mart:  "J.C. Penney stocks are down.  Their never having a sale strategytanked.  They're desperate.  And desperate people will do anything to sell you stuff. Can you really trust J.C. Penney?"

This would be much more fun to watch than the infinite parade of perfect looking, smiling people expressing joy over the low priced spatula they found.  Let's bring negative advertising to Christmas.
