Merry Consumer-mas, Everyone!

December 24, 2009 149 Comments

This year’s Christmas Spectacular is dedicated to the one and only Reverend Billy Talen, whose movie “What Would Jesus Buy?” inspired me to go out and ask people just that. Every year around New York City, there are these Christmas markets where people hawk ridiculous items in hopes that people will buy them as Christmas presents for their loved ones. I hate these markets for several reasons. ONE: It’s freaking TOO COLD to be shopping outside! TWO: The crap that people sell at them are just that, crap. THREE: Why does this country go bananas with consumerism in the name of Jesus? Really, that’s the worst one, obviously. And that’s the one that the good Reverend is hung up about, too. Consumerism drives this country, which is no good for us in many ways, not the least of which is our distracting ourselves from what’s really important. So this year’s Christmas Spectacular is for you, Reverend Billy! Now ya’ll go to his site and check him out at www.revbilly.com, ya here?

  28. [..YouTube..] I noticed something; Priest preach and people who are anti-religious preach as well. So why dont you “stop your silly nonsense”? Yes you’re right about the sales figures. Many people know stores and manufacturers profit from this time. Old news. Some times having a good spirit and holiday cheer before winters bleak moments can balance each other. Try thinking of this time of the year as that and your “Christmas” wont seem so pointless. Light a candle instead complaining about the darkness.

    [..YouTube..] if christmas is celebrating jesus’s birthday why does everyone get presents?besides the 25th of december has nothing to do with when jesus was born. its actually the date of the pegan feast. which is pretty ironic.
