'tis the season for crap on your lawn

There is something about this time of year which brings a nice warm feeling in the stomach, on the other side of the coin there is also this sickening feeling caused when the truly tasteless decide to get involved in their own white trash way.

I'm talking about that subclass in society who feel blow up shit from Walmart counts as festive decorations when splattered across their lawn in some meaningless design. I'm not saying I have a problem with Christmas decorations as a whole, in fact there are quite a number of beautiful displays. The problem arises when societal trash get into the game.

Living in North Delta, I have a number of neighbours who have exactly that problem. It seems to get worse with every passing year as the chinese market expands into blow up christmas lawn shit. It is almost like they take some sort of perverse pride in junking up the neighbourhood with their collection of mis-matched polypropaline christmas crap. Now instead of placing their newly found ornaments with some level of pride and forthought, they just plop it on some random empty spot of dead weed infested lawn.

I think I will drive around taking some pictures to post on here. perhaps the owners of these autrocities will get a shot of realization as they see the shit they subject the neighbourhood to from different eyes. Doubt it though.

Canadian my ASS

Further to my earlier rant. I just saw this comment from the Graphic designer who created the fur abominations we call the 2010 mascots

SURREY, British Columbia (Reuters) - Organizers of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver used animals of Canada's Pacific Coast -- both real and imaginary -- as inspiration for the three official Games mascots unveiled on Tuesday.


The mascots -- or "critters" as their designers call them -- incorporate elements from real animals such as killer whales and coastal bears with those of mythical beings such as the sasquatch and the thunderbird of Indian legend.

"We didn't really look at other (Olympic) mascots. We just wanted something that would represent Canadians," said Vicki Wong, one of the designers.

Represent Canadians.... give me a break. I am a Canadian and also live in Vancouver. I love the idea of the Olympics coming to Vancouver, however these PokeKitty cross creatures are far from anything representing Canada. For those of you who are curious, no we do not live in igloo's and that whole Inukshuk thing has nothing to do with Vancouver... well except we have a decorative on in one of our parks.

As for these "mascots" the look more like they have a heavy Asian influence, maybe this comes from the fact the designer has the last name Wong. Apparently they are supposed to represent Native culture, but what does a Chinese graphic designer know about native design??? If they really wanted to go for native culture they should have gone down to East Hastings and hired one off the sidewalk. Probably would have only cost 'em a bottle of cheap sherry to boot.

I just had to add this guys blog

Who the fuck is this Santa Guy anyways?

Well that is what kids will be saying if this politically correct shit is allowed to continue. So what if not everyone celebrates the season the same, if the Jews celebrate Chunnukah so be it, the Africans have Quansa and the Johova's witnesses have their fucking watchtower. Personally, I think organized religion of any sort is a crutch and followers are nothing more than sheep being led into a field full of shit. But that is my opinion. That is why this jolly old fat guy named Santa is perfect. There is no religion involved.

The thing is, as a free society we need to realise the dangers of political correctness. Children in Elementary schools are having all mention of Christmas removed from their vocabulary. Strangly enough, new holidays are taking the place of Christmas. Children are having time taken out of their learning curriculum to celebrate of all things, Diwali. That is considered acceptable, however, refering to a christmas concert as anything resembling Christmas or the jolly fat guy is considered culturally insensitive. So why do people get so offended by Santa. Is it the red suit??? Maybe he is too fat for public acceptance, hold on that would be prejudice.

Now ask yourself this... Really, how free are we?

Feel free to call me an asshole, that is your right.... personally I would rather you throw money at me but who am I to tell you what to do.
