Commercialism is Killing Our Souls

Well, maybe SCIENCE is killing our souls a bit more directly but...

I'm finding a newfound respect for superstition, religion and kickass spiritual topics. No, I haven't found Jesus or anything, I just think I'm losing my utilitarian edge. Anyway...

"This world of modern science and commercialism changes any psuedo - superstitious/relgious kickass spiritual holiday into an excuse to FUCKING BUY CANDY AND ASSOCIATED STUPID SHIT." -Me

And people make a ton of money doing it.

I'm waiting for the tiny boxes of MLK Jr. candied protest signs. They'd be just like candied hearts but say things like "I have a dream" and "Civil Equality". My catch phrase: "Buy them or you're a bigot", "You're DIVERSE if you buy the new MLK Jr. Candied Protest Signs, stand up for your rights!", "Did I mention DIVERSE people buy these? You're DIVERSE, right?"

You know people would buy 'em. Ok, I'm done.


Edit: Oooooh, how about little gummy Rosa Parks busses? Please post ideas for more candy I could sell with guilt-driven commercialism.
