I want to see Craig not sea containers.
I'm afraid folks it seems to be true. Long serving TV campaigns for carpet companies will never be the same again. Yes 'Craig' from Rugs-A-Million has gone off the airwaves. Disappeared behind a pile of heavily discounted carpets and hall runners. Never again will we hear the 'Owner' telling us he's 'Massively Overstocked' (cut to staff members stroking rugs and pretending to be customers) or 'Being forced at gunpoint to slash prices'. No more 'Sea containers' (cut to footage of sea containers just in case we don't know what they look like) will have 'Just arrived'. Course I'm hoping it's all just a cunning marketing plan by the agency who are giving the carpet retailing brand a new look. That Craig's indentical twin brother El Craigo from Mexico (Craig wearing a big fake tache and an oversized novetly sombrero)will be back to tell that once again he's going out of business. Craig Please come back. I miss you already!
