Annoying Ads

Driving in to work today, I heard an ad from a local grocery chain that just makes me nuts. In it, a woman is lamenting that she invited 20 people to a traditional holiday dinner, but doesn't know what to make. Duh. If it's a traditional dinner - the menu's pretty much set. Once you declare it traditional, at least in the US, most people assume turkey, stuffing, potatoes, cranberry sauce, yams, pie, etc. True, if you're from another culture those items may not be what come to mind, but I'd say almost every culture has it's own idea of a traditional meal. So why is this woman such a moron? And who wrote this ad? They should be taken out, covered in turkey giblets, and left for the cats.
