Kobo has been taking a look at all the ways they come up short against Amazon and B&N, and today I learned that apparently they feel they need to start making bad TV commercials to make up for their lack of advertising.They posted a compilation of the commercials to their Youtube account today. The commercials are pretty tacky, but now that I've seen them all twice I'm beginning to suspect that was on purpose.I mean, I know used car lots that could do commercials like this; if Kobo wanted to do better they would have.

Those are really painful to watch. Srsly, if you are apt to call your Dad a cliche, are you going to want to buy him ANY kind of gift? While B&N, Amazon, and Apple tug at heartstrings, these Kobo ads are like nails on a blackboard.
