Carols in Advertising

As Christmas draws near, we hear more and more ads featuring Christmas carols. There is one, in particular, that I have heard on the radio that I find quite offensive. It is for Virgin Mobile and it is a rewrite of Joy to the World. It basically has the character singing it stalking someone.

 

So I'm wondering how you react when you here a traditional carol like this reworked for an advertising campaign.
