This is Bullshit
The pile of half-off Christmas crap at the grocery store is still smoldering...and already there's Valentine's Day crap set out. I'm serious.
Y'know...I'd been worried that Halloween next year would be too early to bring Krampus out, and likewise inappropriate at a couple of cons in May. Well fuck it. If they can push Valentine's Day before New Year's, I have license to wear Krampus 365 days a year (maybe an occasional day off for washing...maybe).
Furthermore, too much candy. Like 2/3 of the Christmas detritus is candy, as is a similar proportion of the V.D. stuff...a ratio I suspect will persist for Easter and so forth (with a major spike for Halloween). And then people are all "Durrr golly gee guys, half of all Americans are obese! What's going on? It's that damn high fructose corn syrup!" No, it's the fucking CANDY 365 DAYS A YEAR! Stop it with the endless overlapping holiday candy already. Stop putting this crap in the middle of the aisle right when we walk into the store.
