‘I haven’t worn pants in a week!’ Zellers going out of business, figures, ‘Aw, screw it…’ (video)

November 19, 2011 By Kathy Shaidle

Canada’s big old low-end store chain Zellers (the favorite of grandmas everywhere) is finally closing its doors after a bazillion years, and handing the keys to Target (yay!!)

Their Christmas ads usually look like this.

But I guess they and their advertising agency figured this year, “What the hell? We’ve got this last budget anyway — let’s do whatever.”

Yes, these are real TV commercials.

Those must have been amazing client meetings. I have a feeling a screening of Napoleon Dynamite was involved.
