Daily rant

Is it my imagination, or is Christmas advertising getting as bad as Valentine's Day advertising?

Grr.

Aargh.

Close entry.

It's really just the diamond ones that are getting me so far, but that's been true much of the year. Yeah, I know they gotta be hurting in a lousy economy, but *please*...

My particular favorite is the one where the couple's in some European plaza and he starts announcing out loud how much he loves her. She makes him stop (presumably embarassed), so he pulls out a rock for her. She then falls all over him, saying "I love this man".

Frankly, this makes it sound like she doesn't even know his name, nor does she care. She just picked him up off some well-tailored European street and is engaged in some shady international love-for-diamonds trade cartel.

Guy around the corner from me has his lights up already. Oy.

Heh. My mom and my stepdad had an argument about the lights this weekend.

He wanted to put them up now while the weather was nice. Mom objected that she didn't want to put up Christmas decorations til after Thanksgiving.

His response: "Well, we don't have to turn them ON til then, do we?"

So they compromised, because it's supposed to rain this coming weekend.

Are your neighbor's lights up but off? Or is he just being impatient and turning them on already?

Oh, they're on already ;)

Anti-Valentine Advertisement

In response to the rediculous Valentines ads, we have come up with Anti-Valentine's Day. This year is the fourth annual party. Ask Mandichaos about it sometime. Fun times. We try to recruit people to start their own anti-v celebrations. I'm hoping it catches on.
