(13,081 posts)Of course, how does that make it any different than the other 364 days we're getting fucked in the nose? If it ain't the sanctity of Santa, it's graduation specials, or the Easter bunny! or Memorial Day, or Columbus Day, or President's Day. They can and will do everything in their power to fuck us out of our money.
Is it really the corporations' fault, I wonder? People don't have to sell their souls for cheap consumer products on Black Friday, nor do they have to do anything other than spend time with family and friends. What's lacking in our society? What's lacking that makes us so much more willing to shoot each other, or neglect one another, or neglect ourselves? Other countries have the same conglomerates shoving shit down their throats, but the people don't seem to have lost their "souls."
