Koons Cartel

5.19.2006

I think its been an ongoing joke in my life everytime I drive by the Koons dealership in Tysons. Obvious snickers ensue for such a horrible name for a car dealership. But now they're having the last laugh, they're invading almost every facet of my multimedia life. This was covered in whyihatedc's blogspot but I think its worth recounting. Every morning I turn on the TV, it doesn't matter what channel I turn to, Krystal Koons is on the freaking TV shilling her family's empire of cars. When I turn to WTOP, aka my old man radio station according to the wife, to get the local traffic report (traffic and weather on the eights!) she's there telling me she's going to wow me.

And when I say Koons empire, I mean it. They must have a deathstar somewhere constructed out of every possible car model possible. Surfing over to their website, you'll see they sell them ALL. Toyota, Ford, Chevy's, Mazda, Dodge, Volvo, etc. You want them, they got them. I remember a time back in the 80s when the Koons brand was just one among many. They only sold Chevrolets but then they gobbled up Jimmy Kline's Toyota (and his equally annoying commercials), and from then, I guess they just started acquiring every small dealership.

I used to hate those Eastern Motors commercials, but they've been overtaken with Koons's massive advertising budget. Apparently there's a shared sentiment on the washington post discussion from a few weeks ago and someone has reported she's showing up before movie previews?! They must be stopped.

Most people hate Krystal with the lingering thought of neopotism that has led her to the opportunity to be a local (hated) celebrity and to line the Koons family deep pockets even deeper by supposedly "wowwing" them. However, I think there's something more sinister afoot.

I personally think Krystal Koons is an android and the Koons mad scientists thought it would be cute to give her a non-removable blue sweater vest abdomen. I mean how else can you explain that she's always wearing the same outfit in all of the commercials and that she moves and talks like the animatronics at the local Chuck E. Cheeses? If you look at all the ads, she's always planted in one place, she never walks, and her arms always flail around in the same way in a robotic fashion. I think its funny that this post article from last year says she's "seems like a Shakespearean actress" when they're comparing her to other local ads. Take a look at the photo below of Koons founder.

Its obvious they just took a mold of his cryogenically frozen head and recreated Krystal's facial mold from it. Also, look at the following photos, never is she photographed below the stomach. Its because there's a huge Cray supercomputer underneath powering the "We're gonna wow ya!" propoganda. What is the Koons evil end game? Only they seem to know.





What I find even more amazing is they're offering all these commercials online! In all print, video, and audio formats! Why on earth would I subject myself to her shrill voice of telling me she's going to wow me over and over again? Whoever goes to that site for fun is masochistic.

All in all, if the Koons marketing department is reading this, its time to fire and deport this person that came up with this campaign. I'd also like to personally flog him or her, but I want think locking them in a room for a month with these commercials playing 24/7 might be a good start.

Comments for Koons Cartel
I would buy anything she will sell me.

John Koons, Sr. signed a pack with the devil, the benefits of which was passed to all of his heirs at the time of his death. As a result, his family has unreal wealth and a monopolistic vice-like grip on the DC auto sales industry. What are the downsides, you ask? Well, just look at Krystal Koons. She is stuck for an eternity with that damned sweater-vest on. If anyone actually saw her in July/August in Dc, she would still be wearing that sweater-vest. You should add Krystal Koons to your "local-celebrity" watch list even though she's not a TV anchor.

I was thinking about that, maybe she shouldn't be called a celebrity, because I wouldn't celebrate her in anyway form possible.

...hey it's capitalism at its best...why knock it??? You all sound like a bunch of communists!

I used to think that the Lamisil creature was annoying. Ms.Koons wasn't too bad at the beginning, as she's a pleasant looking lady. However, I'm tired of their commercials, as you are right about them being on constantly. Perhaps she could put on a little bikini and say "We're going to wow you." At least, it would be BEARABLE!

you people obviously have too much time on your hands

i like her, she's hot. but bikini shots sound good.

There is something inherently creepy about Ms Koons. So un-natural in movement, and that zombie stare! Although with some professional media guidance she could easily replace the weather gal Kim Martucci on channel 9.

Im glad this blog/page exists bc I hate the Krystal commercials.
I hate the empire commercials.
I hate all the election commercials.
I hate the eastern motors jingle, but the dancing footbal players are funny; the dream sequences are nice.

When I do watch live tv I mute the commercials bc they're annoying

PS:
If she wasnt a bottle blond;
or if she feels she must be a blond but wasnt a platinum blonde,

she'd be better received.

& y the hell wont ppl who bleach their hair bleach their eyebrows to match?

Plus she needs 2 take out her funny looking cntacts & stop w the way to much caked on makeup.

you know what... Krystal is a good, hard working kid, who actually has a life; you're just some sad envious loser, spending all your time creating an elaborate smear site. keep wasting all your time and energy, loser.

I've always wanted to go to a Koons dealer and tell them they have a deal if they can get Krystal to take her top off for me :)

I would bang Krystal like a Gong!

Just found this post via Google, but I wanted to mention that there must be something with her human voice.

I say that, because I know by watching the commercials that they dub over the voice in every single one. Freaks me out every time.

She WOWS me every time I see her ads. You say they are played too much, I say they cant play them enough.

I worked with Krystal Koons recently and she is a very sweet and kind person. The Koons automotive group is basically following the american dream - a family owned business that is striving to grow and expand.

Every company in American invests in branding - from baseball fields named after large corporations to free pens given out at banks. If you don't like commercials, you have a choice. No one is requiring you to watch them.

BTW - There is a very practical reason for dubbing her voice. She records the copy in a studio. Then when filming, they play it back, and she mouths the words. This allows them to film multiple spots in a day because you don't have to worry about ambient noise, mistakes, and synching. It's a good business decision, because it saves time and money.

It must be miserable living your life. I find it interesting you actually took probably at leasr 45 minutes of your pitiful life to write about someone who makes commercials???/ Jokes on you sir

Trust me daddy little girl is not that innocent.

Post her loyola college spring break pictures that would be the end of her image as referenced here in the comments:
