So let's turn the tables - re: The Christmas War

First, find some places that give you free e-mail addresses. Hotmail is pretty good for that.

Sign up for several. Keep them straight, write down the e-mail address and the password used (so you don't duplicate too much).

Find businesses which say "Happy Holidays". Find out their e-mail contact addresses.

Fire off a few "Yer been anti-murikan" e-mails to each one. Make sure your spelling and grammar are atrocious.

Also, mix it up so it doesn't look like the exact same e-mail. We're not freepturds sending astroturf. On occasion, toss in the reference to Bill O'Reilly or Jerry Falwell, or, better yet, Wildmon and Dobson. But not every e-mail.

They want war? We'll give them war. And they're going to be the ones ridiculed for it.

1. And what if they "give in" as a result of your fake emails?

What have you accomplished then? Actually, what have you really accomplished even if they don't do anything?

2. Contact Falwell, Wildmon and Dobson.

Urge them to turn up the heat on the White House for sending out a holiday card instead of a Christmas card.

3. I'm happy for the fundies contrived controversy. It gives me

a great opportunity to send all my freeper relatives big beautiful "Happy Holiday" cards.

4. I don't think it's even necessary or a good idea.

they have their own army of furious offended emailers doing this already and I do not think making them seem an even larger group of consumers than they are (or than they appear to be) will help. Keep in mind that generally speaking, companies decide things based on their customers - if they honestly feel they are losing customers, even illiterate ones, they will react to appease them.

5. Two words: "Glad YULE!!!"

[grumpy old fart]

6. or Happy Saturnalia...

the vast majority of these idiots have no idea about the origins of this holiday.
