What I REALLY hate about Christmas!

The shopping I can handle.... the endless reruns, I can hadle.... people acting like complete jerks when they're supposed to be nice and loving towrd each other... nothing! There is only one thing I cannot stand.....

THOSE Damn Holiday commercials. I mean, seriously.... I know Christmas is commercial, but this is REDICULOUS! Case in point, the "Happy Hondadays" series of commercials in which carollers go around singing about buying cars. These are beyond annoying and not even subtle.

Okay, does anyone recall a 1990's puppet sitcom called "Dinosaurs?" In the holiday episode "refrigerator Day," the characters are watching a commercial in which someone tells them that "This refridgerator day, go out and give the gift that will shine forever. The Gift of paint"... to which a group of carollers sing "we wish you a Happy Fridge day, we wish you a Happy Fridge day, we wish you a Happy Fridge day, so come in and buy paint." Now, that was a satire, but commercials are starting to become just that.
