Disturbing Holiday Memories, December 11th Edition

1. Can you even imagine waking up on Christmas morning to find Celine Dion under your tree singing trying to look, gulp, sexy. This could very well be the biggest lump of coal in all of history. I have a unified theory that Celine Dion is the worst advertising spokesperson in the world. Her work for Air Canada is still legend. Thank you baby Jesus.

2. The fact that BC Hydro has some wierd "people powered billboard" with a light up reindeer on it. Yes, that really does sound as stupid as all that. [Ad Rants]

3. Have you seen this? One more reason to completely loathe our transit system. As a friend coined late last week on a different topic, this could very well be in the 'lamestream'.

4. That ABC really tried to pull a special 2-hour Extreme Makeover Home Edition last night. No, I didn't watch the show, it is way too much for me. Ty Pennington is a real Grade-A clown. But here is what I did see, the TV listing on Shaw, "A home is built for the Ripattis whose police-officer mom was shot in the line of duty leaving her paralyzed from the chest down. Dad is a cop, too, and they have a baby daughter." It's like a show designed by TV execs purposely to prey on your tear glands. it's too much and things like this are the reasons we invented happy pills. Bah.

5. I made a serious mistake of going to the Future Shop on Granville and Robson Sunday. Too busy. Too full of people that don't go shopping, ever. Uncomforatable.

I can imagine nothing worse than Celine Dion being anywhere near me this Xmas. Yeesh. Thank you for making me feel dirty.
