I first noticed Christmas music blaring in retail spaces and bars the last days of November. After stopping into a few places today to pick up some supplies, it was clear...
The Capitalism Clockwork Orange is upon us.
A few thoughts spring to mind while reaching for taco seasoning at the grocery store:
1) Did the U.S. government cultivate Christmas music as an anthem to subconsciously drill into people's head that they need to buy everything in their sight?
A very scary image of Alex from Clockwork Orange popped into my head. He was strapped in a chair with his eyes pried open watching a screen flashing all these things he thought he liked and wanted. Oh yeah...those are called commercials.
2) Did little baby Jesus want to be a showgirl? Does a Christina Aguilera Christmas song really portray the birth of a spiritual savior?
3) Why doesn't Key West have a Drag Queen manger scene? I bet the Virgin Mary would be fierce!
That's all for now. Time to go bedazzle my baby Jesus.
