Commercialmas

Commercialmas is the time of year immediatly after thanksgiving and just before December 31st. It was responsible for the death of Christmas.

During this time a clusterfuck of consumerism occurs throwing the masses into debt and millions trampled from the stamped of women running into the stores at 5am for the super-sale-of-the-year.
Atheist: Ugh. I just don't know what I'm going to do for Christmas this year...
Me: HA! You don't celebrate CHRISTmas. CHRISTmas is dead! You celebrate COMMERCIALmas

commercial

desperate attempts too fool people into buying someones products/services. morality is totally parallel to this. anything goes as long as it achieves it's goal of increasing sales (including lies, exploiting subculture, using stupid annoying songs because they stick to your head etc.)

- does this mean they can lie to people?
- pretty much..

Condom Commercial Kid

A bratty little kid disturbing people in a public place with limited to no control from the parent. Often associated with a sudden desire to increase strength and use of birth control products. Commonly expressed in the grocery store as making a bee-line for the condom isle because of what you saw on the cereal isle. Both parents and non-parents report seeing Condom Commercial Kids.
"I didn't get to enjoy the movie because of that five-year-old (Condom Commercial Kid) right behind me screaming and kicking the back of my seat the entire two hours. On an unrelated matter, no glove--no love, so let's stop by the drugstore on the way home home..."
