I've seen games go perfect for 12 innings all for naught. I've seen no-hitters pitched on illicit drugs. Homer streaks lasting eight games and 20 run losses. I've seen pennants won and seasons collapse. All these memories will be lost in time. Like tears in the rain.

Time to die.

I prefer to think that having seen the iguana on every telephone pole, billboard, bus, and blimp she went to a store and got an iguana that looks just like it for reward money.

Jesus Christ best buy already has a loving Christmas commercial. This poo poo is getting out of control.

AND MY SONG IS...
I saw a Best Buy commercial that definitely had a winter vibe with Christmas lights on a tree and what not but I don't think they actually mentioned Christmas or "the holiday season" in it. I wasn't giving it much of my mind though so I could be wrong.

My brother asked me about a month ago when I thought we'd see Christmas advertising and I guessed before Halloween. When I saw that one I wasn't sure if I won or not (answer: we all lose).

As long as the Christmas season is creeping up to slowly cover the entire year, I wish they'd do Black Friday on the Friday after Halloween rather than Thanksgiving.

I went to a store on Tuesday and they had Christmas themed bags of candy out.

In their defense, they had their grand opening last Sunday, so it probably didn't make sense to order a ton of Halloween themed stuff with only 5 days before ti gets dated, but still.

Last tuesday (the 22nd) I happened to be in Kmart and they had their fake trees out already across from the halloween costumes. I get that its Kmart but this is getting rediculous.

Considering it's the store that was running a Christmas commercial literally before summer was even over I'm surprised it didn't happen earlier.

In my area there was a radio station that switched to 100% Christmas music all the time in November all the way through til New Years.

A few years ago they started on November 1st and the backlash was so great that they only did one more year after that. At least someone got backlash from trying to shove Christmas down your throat.

Where I grew up there's a station which does this, although this year it looks like they're doing it at some random time between now and the end of the month for ~*~prizes~*~. So I'll have to listen to plenty of CONTINUOUS CHRISTMAS MUSIC ON 99.9 KEZ when I go back to visit.

Last holiday season I was at an office job where the mandatory radio station was all-Christmas-all-the-time from December 1st to January 1st. About halfway through the month I started up a tally of how many different versions of each carol they played. Per day. 'Frosty the Snowman' was usually the winner (averaging 7-8 times), with 'Let it Snow' a close second. People freaking love to sing Let it Snow, apparently.

The first Christmas ad I saw this year was for K-Mart, which is kind of sad since our K-Mart is scheduled to close sometime in December. Everyone working there found out they were losing their job two months before Christmas.

Yeah, I remember one of the stations in Pennsylvania making the news for switching to a Christmas format on November 1 some years back. IIRC it actually kept up for a few years before they finally knocked that poo poo off.

Thankfully most places here have the common sense to not start the Christmas music until either the week of or on Thanksgiving and it ends immediately on December 26th.

Granted, its annoying as poo poo to have to start christmas music on a completely different holiday but its certainly better than starting at the beginning of the month and at least it lasts only a month, still see the stuff being sold in stores till around March or April though.

Half of the "Christmas" music they play has nothing to do with Christmas so I find the whining about it more annoying than the music itself.

They're all the same idea: Guy speaking the lyrics to a song then transitioning into the actual song. Sort of.
