The I'm sick to death of Christmas - Bah Humbug thread.
« on: November 1, 2010, 06:58:40 pm »
1st of November, and I'm already getting cheesed off with the Christmas adverts on TV.

I've been unlucky enough to be stuck in today, in front of the telly all day, and already I'm sick of hearing that little bleeding twinkly, twinkly tune, the troika.

Personally, I've nothing against  Prokofiev, and I'm not particularly anti-Christmas.  I just despise the constant rampant comercialism of Christmas.

I mean. Our local Asda has Christmas goodies on the shelf from early September, and now the constant wall to wall recycled Crimbo adds on the telly.

FFS. Does someone want to tell the advertising industry that Christmas is a Christian festival in fucking December.



And it's only going to get worse and worse from here on in.  :wanker :no

I love Christmas at Christmas time, not in fucking Autumn. You can throw all the ad's you want at me from the 1st December but seeing endless couch warehouse adverts with fucking crappy looking CGI snow piled on top of the logo and jangly bells forcibly inserted into the jingle from the middle October is very aggravating.
