My dad and I usually go on shopping excursions together this time of year. Sometimes we pick out stuff for each other; sometimes we help the other get gifts for mom and grandma.

The rant I mentioned happened about a week ago, at the JCPenney in Jefferson Mall. I think it had already gone viral by the time I heard about it the next morning.

I didn't watch the video, but having seen stuff like that before, I'm not sure I need to. No, I hadn't heard of this, but it's been a busy few days.
