Ads gone bad: Claus creeps me out

Let's play word association! I say "Santa," and you say: fat, jolly, rotund, jovial, old, fatherly!

Now, let's play word association after watching a new Palm Centro commercial featuring "Claus."

Word association now? Creepy. Skeevy. Bizarre.

It gets worse: he bought a mid-life crisis sleigh and is selling Donner! Santa has turned into the skeevy guy at the ultra-lounge trying to get you to come back to his place for a "snowball fight."

Thank god they haven't touched Mrs. Claus ... yet.

Claus does look like he's been on a meth bender w/ Amy Winehouse. Super pale and pretty creepy, but I guess they're trying to make Santa hip. I don't want that Palm Centro guy in my house though. He'd probably steal my stuff to score drugs or something.

Can we get this guy a membership to Mystic Tan?
