OK, I guess there *is* a holiday song worse than "Wonderful Christmastime."

All holiday songs are worse than "Wonderful Christmastime" because it's the best one.

That song is total dogshit.

I refused to listen to the song because I don't need that particular earworm. I had bascially forgotten it. Thanks. Thanks a lot, Jim.

And that threatening trans-person needs to be plastered all over the internet, because he's precisly what is driving that crap. There's a level way beyond mere mysogyny, and he's there.

Jaguar ("I've got a Jaaag") was dying anyway. Might gom out in a bg splash. read somewhere that over 400 people worked on that ad. Maybe there were rejects from the Kamala Kampaign Korps who were too bad for even her.

As far as I am concerned, there is only one good Christmas song, and it's "Father Christmas" by The Kinks.

1) VenusPeenis---As someone who has a last name pronounced by Anglos as "Venus", I have endured Vinas Penis jokes my whole life. Now, I see there is a guy with autogynephilia who has not only accepted it, but enjoys it! Now, I will no longer consider them fighting words!

2) The Jaguar Ad---I thought they *all* were trans! Shows what I know...

Back in the day, a South Florida radio station was having a holiday fundraiser for the Salvation Army. People could call in, pledge, and request a song. There was this maudlin Christmas song sung by a screechy-voiced kid called "Dear Mr. Jesus that was popular that season. People kept requesting it. Finally, one guy had enough and called in and, on air, pledged $100 if the DJ would "stop playing that damn song for the rest of the day.'

The Jennifer Lawrence/Afghanistan thing is particularly irksome. Not just because of Ol' Joe, but because the U.S. spent 20 years of blood and treasure trying to give room to the people of Afghanistan to make their own change. At the end of the day, the Afghan people are doing this to themselves. It's Afghan on Afghan violence there. If wanting something different was a thing that part of the world wanted, there were opportunities. Opportunities made and squandered.

BREAK MOULDS!!!

Toots, you'd have a hard time breaking eggs. You could barely lift that sledge into the ready position.

Also, as an American, I refuse to buy anything from anyone who writes MOULDS unironically. Oh, and your font is ass. And it looks like asses.

Agree with Vinas - thought all the folks in Jag ad were "different" - yet more reasons not to buy a Jag
