Chrismahanakwanzaka

There was a commercial that made reference to the ultimate non-denominational holiday and featured a multi-ethnic telethon-style call center. Does anyone know what product this was hawking and where I can find it?

Thanks,

According to Wikipedia, it was a series of ads designed to hawk Virgin Mobile cell phones.

The name of this interdenominational holiday bears an unusual resemblance to a joke in the 1998 Simpsons episode “Trash of the Titans,” in which a department store executive refers to the December profit-making area as “the Chrismahanukwanzaa season.”

I thought it was from Seinfeld?

I don’t know if Seinfeld ever did it- I know they invented Festivus. The very first line of the Simpsons episode in question is “Gentlemen, I’m pleased to report strong holiday sales from the Christmas-Hanu-Kwanzaa spend phase, and things look good for the mom/dad/grad gift corridor.”

Yup, you’re right, I was thinking of Festivus. :smack:
