If it were some stupid internet parody, great, but not something I really want my kids to see.<br /><br />Kmart's been pushing the limits on their ads lately. I think most of them are online ads, but still. Guess they're trying to be cool.Suzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16502606950280751205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10702621.post-11319154706991422752013-11-19T14:34:49.536-12:002013-11-19T14:34:49.536-12:00Andrew:

I would not like it at all if I had to DO it. I don't mind seeing other people do major Xmas decorating, but it took all my effort & skill last year to put up our Inflatable Rudolph and the Three Drunken Reindeer.<br /><br />Brianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01616494058636881575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10702621.post-48826138633129615172013-11-19T09:58:22.809-12:002013-11-19T09:58:22.809-12:00It was Christmas season sometime in the late '...It was Christmas season sometime in the late '90s. My father, my brother, and I were wandering through a neighborhood that called itself "Jingle Bell Lane" or something similar. The whole block had gone ALL OUT on their decor. <br /><br />We spent our walk discussing the fall of our civilization. Our example was what we were looking at. <br /><br />We had so many questions. Do potential home buyers know about the Christmas crazy when they buy in in June? What does it say about us as a people to put up all those lights? How long does one spend figuring out how to decorate one's house?<br /><br />Our civilization fell some time ago.<br /><br />I don't watch commercials anymore. That's what DVRs are for. But I happened to catch a glimpse of this one while jumping through, just a second of it, and my mind exploded. They put THAT on broadcast TV?<br /><br />It was good for a laugh.Liz A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531953467834426316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10702621.post-85538808567191657632013-11-19T08:10:27.150-12:002013-11-19T08:10:27.150-12:00I'm not worried about civilization.

People used to gouge each other's eyes out to make bells, so a bunch of guys shaking their stuff together like that to make music is practically heartwarming.<br />Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10702621.post-52219060526205768102013-11-19T07:20:25.711-12:002013-11-19T07:20:25.711-12:00PT:

I was shocked to find out it's still a thing.<br /><br />Tina:<br /><br />Send the bill for that screen cleaning/beverage to PT. He's an accountant. He'll move some money around.<br /><br />I'm going to check out your post next because it sounds like you and I are on the same page re: squirrels.<br /><br />Margo:<br /><br />Those Panerans! So judgy! But I would evacuate St. Louis right away. If you leave this hemisphere you MIGHT be safe. But I would try moving to Counter-Earth. <br /><br />Crystal:<br /><br />You and I will have to agree to disagree, I guess -- but at least you didn't declare it the end of the world.

Not sure that's the kind of ad I want my innocent 8 yr old accidentally viewing. ;) Crystal Collierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912469552483168148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10702621.post-39224432809251993752013-11-19T06:05:43.417-12:002013-11-19T06:05:43.417-12:00People in Panera Bread now think I'm crazy.

I was laughing so hard at this post that tears are running down on my cheeks right now. <br /><br />At least the hyenas are not here yet. <br /><br />They might soon be in St. Louis because Miley Cyrus and her twerking are coming to one of our biggest concert venues this winter, and I was wondering WHO BUYS TICKETS TO GO SEE HER? <br /><br />But if civilization is ending because of Testicular bells, then I guess it makes sense that Miley Cyrus could fill a stadium--maybe with hyenas.

Now I have part of a beverage, and a newly cleaned screen.<br />What will they complain about next? I've NEVER shopped at a K-Mart, and I don't plan to as the one in our town closed (apparently others felt as I did, which was nothing in the ads was ever available, there were no people working who could even tell me where a DEPARTMENT was, nor what department my item SHOULD be located in...so I never ended up buying anything on that trip and never went back.)<br />I think there are worse things happening in our society that we should worry about. Squirrelmageddon, for example. Ok, fine, I'll give you the link...<br />http://kmdlifeisgood.blogspot.com/2013/11/squirrelmageddon.html<br />And to further prove the point of the post, there are no less than EIGHT squirrels on my back porch.
