A Mother's Day bra sale.
Some years ago, I saw an ad for, I think Lord & Taylor, announcing a Mother's Day Bra Sale. Bras 30% off for Mother's Day. Can anything be dumber? Or more Oedipal? A Mother's Day Sex Toy Sale, maybe.
This morning I saw an ad for AT&T Wireless announcing a Mother's Day phone sale. Same as a bra sale. Kinda.
I think there should be a law.
Don't run a Mother's Day ad selling things that Moms don't really want or that you won't really buy your Mom.
