This year's sign that the Apocalypse is upon us (or SHOULD be).
The local mall is offering a WAKE-UP CALL SERVICE. You can call and tell them what time you want to get up tomorrow, in order to make it to their sales, and they will give you a wake-up call. I'm told that a customer suggested this. I can just imagine the thought process:

Our kids die every day in Iraq, people are hungry, children who need to see a doctor can't, and high school graduates can't read their diplomas.

What should get my attention this year? Hmm.....
:think:

I know! THE SALES AT THE MALL! But what if I'm not first in line? I'l get the mall to give me a WAKE-UP CALL!!!

2. I swear to God, it makes me wonder whether the mall would
set up an oral-sex service for customers who promise to spend $400 or something.

Really. I bet some of them would. Seriously.

3. For all the "stuff" ...
this culture is going conceptually bankrupt very rapidly.

4. Target is offering recorded wakeup calls
You can get them from Darth Vader, a Storm Trooper, Ice-T, all kinds of stuff.

Guess they didn't have enough people fighting over DVD players last year.
