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!".
