What is with all these freaking Christmas threads?

[Raven Soul]

Couldn't you just save the space and fucking put it all in one thread, I mean fuck, its all the same damn thing... how Christmas sucks... we fucking get it already.

It's the whole Do you or dont you say merry x-mas thing.

Sorry Jigsaw. I've taken steps to correct this problem and I'm sorry you were offended.

Grrr! ***** ********* ... Take That!

***** ********* everybody.

And if that offends you, click off my column.

I'm not saying that you don't have a right to be offended. You do. And if you think a blessing of good tidings for one of the most celebrated *******s in the entire world is worth a Grrr!, then more power to you.

But you can't tell me you don't feel something this time of the year, every year.

No matter what one's religion, the ********* spirit is strong enough to transcend secular belief; at home, at work, on television, the Internet, in newspapers and on radio.

There's Secret Santa at the office, where colleagues surprise one another with gifts. Mine gave me a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Calendar ? again, making it the third time for that gift at work. I'm not really sure what that means.

On television, ads are all aimed at buying gifts for loved ones, and I'm all for that, except I wish advertisers could come up with something other than music from "The Nut*******" year in and year out. Don't they get paid a lot of money to come up with something different?


That's why I did a feature on Virgin Mobile's (search) Chrismahanukwanzika campaign on FOX Magazine Sunday. The spots are different, I'll give them that.

On CBS's "Sunday Morning," (search) host Charles Osgood sat at a piano and sang ********* carols replacing "*********" with "*******s," making a point of how absurd the movement is.

It was one of the best segments I've seen on the subject. And Osgood's a very good singer to boot (while I'm on the subject of CBS, Sunday was a banner day for the embattled news division. In addition to "Sunday Morning," Mike Wallace (search) showed why he's a living broadcasting legend with his no-nonsense interview with knucklehead former football player Ricky Williams (search) on "60 Minutes" later in the day ? if you missed it, ask for a TiVo or Replay DVR for *********.)

My satellite TV receiver is locked on the "Sounds of the Season" channel this week. I can't get enough of ********* music, even if Jon Bon Jovi's rendition of "Please Come Home for *********" comes on (see last column).

At the malls, at restaurants and around the neighborhoods, ********* lights, ********* trees, wreaths and garland spruce up the festivities and add to the ********* cheer, and even Santa Claus parades around on volunteer fire trucks, with sirens and lights blazing away.

In Charles Dickens' classic "A ********* Carol," old meanie Ebenezer Scrooge was taught the true meaning of *********, and at the end he let the spirit of the ******* take him over. I even bet that some of the loudest critics of "*********" ? the ImporTants and Self-Righteons sooo offended by the term ? will be exchanging presents under their ********* trees come this Saturday.

And to them I say, ***** *********. Take that!

I am not offended by it, but it is ******* stupid to have all of these mother ******* threads about the same ******* subject. I mean seriously, just create a thread called **** ********* and post all the ******** articles no one gives a **** about anyway into one thread, instead we have a **** load of ********* threads easily could be consolidated into one ******* thread.
