1. Several years ago, my Target store had the xmas stuff up in the month of..

...August.

No kidding.

Since then they've waited until the time was more appropriate. :-)

Of course, they've started capitalizing on all sorts of Halloween crap to make up for the time differential...

2. ummmm, All of them?
Every single one. Every fucking ad my children have to sit through, every one I hear accidentally, every one that sneaks through my efforts to tune them out.

Yep.

9. Why do you hate America?
Celebrating the birth of Christ by racking up credit card debt that you will never have the ability to repay is what true Patriots do. I applaud Lowe's for recognizing commerce as the reason for the season, and encouraging all of us to join in.

12. This is just the state of our world today...
When not even the president respects those that died and were disabled in wars actually fought for OUR freedom and safety, then most of the general population isn't going to. He's just a wonderful example, isn't he?

20. Some Dodge trucks now come equipped with Hemi engines.
Or, those equipped with hemispherical combustion chambers. :-)

No clue how much they cost; if you have to ask...;-)

15. Who does the PR for Old Navy?
Their firm needs to be stricken by plagues of sulphuric acid and the earth salted to remove all traces.

You'd think out of their last six ad campaigns there would be at least one that wouldn't make you want to pierce your eardrums and buy a sleeping mask to slip over during commercial breaks.

24. new BMW ad
Saw this one last night. BMW driving down a road and all of the sudden four angels fly up and take a position by each tire. As various road hazards come up, they coordinate via headset how to take the harm upon themselves.

Pardon me but :puke:
