I have to wholehearted agree with this post as well, although for some reason I like episodes of TV shows set at Christmas....<br /><br />I wonder if you are a fan of Charlie Brooker? He wrote an article along similar lines for the Guardian earlier this month. Here's the link: <br />http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/nov/16/charlie-brooker-christmas-television-adverts<br /><br />Keep up the good work, Ben.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01373266701029640305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184562380062162084.post-17159504745246882602009-11-24T00:36:54.366+00:002009-11-24T00:36:54.366+00:00Unless you live in the UK, this post really won...Unless you live in the UK, this post really won't make much sense. I doubt you'd even know who Richard Hammond was (not that you're missing much!) Oooh harsh but true.<br /><br />I stand by my scroogeness. It's too damn early. Still. First week of December is acceptable. <br /><br />:)Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04152803362923785129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184562380062162084.post-63984124647180718442009-11-23T13:52:21.120+00:002009-11-23T13:52:21.120+00:00I'm with you...it's too damn early for thi...I'm with you...it's too damn early for this Christmas stuff... bah hum-something!Organic Meatbaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00740368286985980207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184562380062162084.post-6200366525334181042009-11-20T02:06:16.011+00:002009-11-20T02:06:16.011+00:00I'm surprised they waited until November, that...I'm surprised they waited until November, that actually shows great restraint!

It'll probably start mid December.<br /><br />I can't exactly relate to your post, but I can definitely see what you mean. Hope your Christmas cheer doesn't disappear before the 25th Dec. Hang in there! :D<br /><br />missykimmy.blogspot.commissykimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05566060177968291085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184562380062162084.post-23013401349135331942009-11-19T04:44:17.713+00:002009-11-19T04:44:17.713+00:00it's sickening, i know. the businesses are des...it's sickening, i know. the businesses are desparate for our money, and i'm not willing to hand it over. in fact i've been boycutting christmas for years now. and now they are selling thanksgiving cards. thanksgiving cards!?Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05246393318938411419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184562380062162084.post-21971948399269642672009-11-18T22:48:12.797+00:002009-11-18T22:48:12.797+00:00Right with you!
