Christmas in July – Ridiculous

Am I the only person who is absolutely annoyed with the marketing campaign Christmas in July. I turned on the TV this morning and there was a the car salesman dress in a Santa suit standing in front of a Christmas tree raving about his special car he was peddling and how the savings would be like “Christmas in July”. Really!! OK not taking the religious side of Christmas (which of course is the whole reason for the holiday to start with) my Christmas season in Michigan is not typically enjoyed in a bathing suit and flip flops. My winter holiday is coupled with boots, hot chocolate, and snow. As the add continued onward, there was Christmas Music playing in the background. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Who in the hell came up with this marketing campaign. Not much boils my large butt more that this ridiculous marketing campaign. Like fingernails on the chalkboard. I am not sure why it bothers me so much but it does and I find myself swearing at the TV every time I hear such absurdities. And why not June or August? July already has a rather important holiday but both June and August are bereft of any major holidays (yes I know there is Father’s Day but we won’t count that).

The darn fool finished the commercial with a “Ho,Ho, Ho, Merry Christmas (pause) in July.” Freak!!!!!!! Don’t you know how idiotic you look and sound. I do and hence I will never show up to your car dealership and give you a dime of my hard earned money because you will obviously waste the profits on brainless marketing campaigns. So take down your darn Christmas stuff and put that gigantic, balloon filled ape, on the top of your building (which is equally as stupid by the way). Who the heck says, ”Oh my gosh it’s an ape let’s stop and purchase a car.” If someone is that dim-witted they probably shouldn’t be driving anyway – but that is my opinion (and a future blog) and I could be wrong, but I’m not.
