1. God, people are so brainwashed with consumerism.
Our local ABC affiliate this morning had a "lifestyle" segment during the morning newscast with a "stylist" contributing home decor tips for "the holidays."

One of her tips -- go out and buy all red items for your kitchen, just for December -- she had a red toaster, a set of red pots and pans, etc.

Yeah, we really need to have an entire second set of kitchenware for the holidays.

I guess that means we need pastel kitchenware for Easter, red/white/blue for July, and harvest colors for Thanksgiving.

Spare me.

3. Red colored frying pans will hide the blood stains
from bashing television "stylists" in their face for promoting such stupidity, so there is that.

11. Big deal...
We gays get a free toaster if we convert enough straights. I only need 2 more and I get a deluxe toaster.
