We consumers are getting used to the ever earlier holiday shopping campaigns that most marketers, both brick and mortar and click and mortar businesses are using to try and out distance their competitors. eBay Austrailia is no different, and they have begun their Santa is Kidnapped campaign.

As for this writer, the Shop Victoriously ads suit me OK, but I feel that the Austrailian ads are a bit in poor taste and their reference to being held hostage by retailers is even more so in this day and age.
