Sick, sad world

Is it just me, or is an all Xmas-music, all the time radio format JUST FUCKING INSANE????

Yeah, sure, I work retail, and I'm forced to listen to Christmas music for hours at a time, but for crying out loud, radio stations are playing 24-hour Xmas music starting on Halloween.  Again, this is fucking insane.  But apparently insanity is the order of the day: more and more radio stations all over the country are going all-Xmas music, and earlier.

Of course, there have been protests a-brewin'.  A Philadelphia woman started an internet protest petition last year, apparently to little effect.  Philly's two X-mas radio stations started their Xmas format even earlier this year, and some cities, such as Indianapolis, have three radio stations playing Christmas music all fucking day and night. 

You see what's gonna happen, right?  In a few years, Christmas music will be aired as early as Labor Day on six or seven radio stations per city, forcing the remaining normal American people to flee to New Zealand.  Talk about a right-wing conspiracy.

 

I'll tell you what, holiday season addicts: you can work at my bookstore all day, and I'll work your depressing 9-5 weekday office shifts, listening to classic rock on my legal headphones.  Sound good?

Last time I was at the grocery store, I commented to the checkout girl that the music must drive her insane. She said she actually prefers it when the store is busy (and thus she is racing to do her job) because the din of the shoppers blocks out the evil music.
