Wow, its been forever. Mainly because i forgot my damned password and had all kinds of dramas getting it back, but thats all resolved now thanks to the helpful staff here at blogger.
Anyway. Christmas.
Bah.
Y'know, the holiday season is one long mistake as far as I can tell. It's no longer about anything more just another way to get us to spend money we dont have on junk we dont need.
It's true though, I do love to spoil my loved ones whenever I can so I dont mind the actual day, what I hate is the build up to it. Endless fucking adverts over and over and over again where suddenly every product on the planet is 'christmassy'... coca cola... wow, santa clause is coming, better break open the coca cola for him cause you know he'll be thirsty.
Bollocks. Its just another way of making us by coke, they couldnt give a shit if we have a happy christmas or not.
I hate advertising, and I guess thats what i'm really talking about. Advertising, and over the christmas period it gets ten times worse than usual with everything suddenly new and improved and with reductions and must have 'bargains' for this christmas season.
"SPEND YOUR MONEY, AFTER ALL YOUVE BEEN WORKING ALL YEAR, NOW BLOW IT ALL ON THE BRAND NEW LASER HAIR STRAIGHTENER TREATMENT WITH ADDED R VITIMINS!!!"
Bollocks.
Look, if I want something i'll go down to the shops and freakin get it, okay? If I need toilet paper, ill go the store. I dont need twenty thousand adverts a day telling me what kind to buy and whats new and improved and softer for my ass. As long as it does the job, im happy. If I need pencils... i'll go buy some fuckin pencils. I dont need a pencil thats also an eraser, a trumpet, a space shuttle and a microwave. I just want a pencil.
Why is everything always new and improved? are they just saying that their previous product was shit? well surely this new and improved product in six months time will suddenly be declared 'shit' and we should buy their better version, which will also become 'shit' in another six months.
It all gives me headaches, I hate advertising. I hate christmas advertising even more.
