Ah spleen venting how I love thee

Nov 29, 2010 20:12



I have vented my spleen at the companies who's advertisements I remember from yesterday. They all got this in an email.  the names of the companies are in my head so I know where not to shop.

Hopefully there will not be others but hey if I put the text here it makes it easier to copy and paste it if any more annoy me before the festival that in my head should be about hope and positivity for the future actually occurs

I was watching television this weekend and feel compelled to inform you that your relentless advertising campaign has made me thoroughly despondent about the world. I realise that the 25th of December is a focus for sales for shops but really you have sucked any joy of anticipation, feelings of hope and festive spirit from my soul. I feel this after only 1 day of adverts as  I had not had the TV on for over a week and am now totally Christmased out. I feel that I am at odds with a world that thinks all that matters is focussing on working out what I can afford, how much I should consume and how depressing it is that I live in a society that seems to accept this is good. I can safely say that I will not be shopping in XXXX this year for any of my Christmas purchases. I hope that many others will also join me in trying to embrace happiness every day rather than spending 1/12 of their lives focusing on 1/365th of their life. I may not be a Christian but I like the hope and positive messages of Christmas but your message about the day has pressed all my angry buttons.
