KMART wants viewers to have a "sense of humor," so whats wrong with a little Christmas cheer, "Joe Boxer style."

                                                                  

KMART's new commercial sparks viral outrage making some viewers "laugh their pants off," or hate the song, "Jingle Bells." The commercial shows men at a table playing the tunes of a very popular Christmas song, then when the table is removed we find them all "boxer-ed" up, shaking their manly hood to the tunes of "Jungle Bells."

Critics are saying the ad is tasteless and the hash-tag, "showyourjoe," is even worse making the ad very offensive even worse than a Victoria Secrets ad. Comments poured all over Facebook, Twitter and YouTube with viewers saying the commercial ad was very disrespectful. According to New York Daily News, one viewer wrote, she saw the commercial, called “Show Your Joe,” on TV with her 14-year-old daughter : “I couldn't believe what I was seeing and what you were implying,” she continued to write,“Very disrespectful to your overall audiences, sad what you do for a sale or publicity. You lost my sales this year.”

But there are plenty of people backing Kmart, praising the store and Joe Boxer for a “hilarious”, "funny" ad. Victoria's Secret ads were mentioned as well with their sexy, bare it all models but no one seems to complain as much.

Kmart hasn't released an official comment, but is responding to complaints on social media. The company wrote,“This commercial is a playful take on spreading holiday cheer,” “We regret if you found it objectionable.”

Do you find the KMART commercial ad hilarious, or defensive ? Take the poll now, or share your thoughts.
