eBay Kidnaps Santa

The holiday season is here, and retailers and marketplaces gearing up their ad campaigns. In Australia, eBay took an unusual approach to their marketing campaign by "kidnapping" Santa Clause. I personally prefer eBay.com's Shop Victoriously ad campaign over kidnapped Santa. Meanwhile, Amazon launched "The Holiday Toy List," a helpful guide to picking gifts for the holiday season.

This is by far the sleaziest ad campaign I have ever seen for any product or by any company.

Sad. Just plain sad.

I wonder how many others will feel likewise?

here is the link to the website with the "ransom demand", the "manifesto" and the section on how to "break it to the kids"

There is also a section called "payback time".
