Commercialization of Christmas/etc. Part II

So today, the people that fell for the big rip-off company's Christmas message that it's about giving, buying stuff, etc. are exchanging the by-products (presents) of gifts that they gave to the large corporations (money).

Being hypocritical seems to pay off for big companys, preaching a message of giving when they're the ones that are raking everything in and the only people they're giving to are advertising companies.

Also, I feel sorry for anyone that actually believes one of those bags that Westfield put out that say "I believe in Santa". If you do, I just want to tell you, you are really sad, believing a make believe commercial character, like elves, gremlins and eskimoes.

Commercialization of Christmas (and variations)

OK, so basically there's all this crap with rich companies shoving the idea into peoples face the idea that the true spirit of Christmas is giving (the products that the companies make money from).

It doesn't take a genius to notice that marketing ploy, but while it takes advantage of people that are stupid enough to fall for them (and rightly so), but then it also boosts the economy, at the cost of people who are stupid enough to go bankrupt in the process of feeding big corporations.

The commercializers can hardly be blamed for people being idiots, but maybe Julian Morrow could step in and make a "public service announcement" like "Christmas is not for giving. It is just a scam to cheat you of your money. Thank You!".
