Here’s an article discussing the inevitable. Businesses taking advantage of anti-Black Friday sentiment. I’m fully aware that there are companies that are going to use the public’s growing distaste for the retail holiday and its creep into the real holiday of Thanksgiving as a gimmick to make them appear caring and humane so that we’ll …

I just had a shower, but after watching this here Loves Baby Soft ad from 1975, I think I need another one. I may also need a brain transplant so I can forget I ever saw it to begin with. Yeesh. Ten pounds of creepy in a 9 pound bag, right here. No. Just…no.

So, Happy New Year and stuff. I really hope 2015 is better. Unfortunately, 2014 couldn’t leave without giving us one last vigourous kick in the gut before it signed off. I’ll let Steve talk more about that, since, out of the two of us, he was the one who got most violently smacked about by …
