Is anyone else happy that we won't have the stupid Palm Centro ads for much longer? You know, the ones with CLAÜS?

Yes, please use your product to turn Santa into a total hipster douchebag. Sure, plenty of companies use Santa this time of year to sell their product, but mostly they stick to either a reverent or comic version, and not one that I'd actually hate to be around. Thanks Palm for making your phone completely unattractive to me.

I'd rather see Pancho Claus than this dork.

Agreed. I wasn't sure what to think the first time that I viewed it.

I think there's other ways to make Santa "hip" without making him an ass. The ad misses on so many levels.

I found the ad really disconcerting on many levels.

Yeah, to think of the spirit of selflessness is heading to rooftop raves and going to country clubs for golf and parties, just seems wrong. He also needs Mrs. Claüs to dress him, apparently.

Yeah, hopefully they'll drop him, but I'm guessing that Palm may be out of business soon, too.
