The Most Wonderful Time of the Year: The War on Christmas
What would Christmas be anymore without the aggrieved cries of persecuted white Christians screaming that the very birth of Baby Jesus is being undermined by heathens and retailers country-wide? As anticipated, the American Family Association sent its first volley of this year’s war on all things good, holy, Murkin and a lighter shade of pale (I’m sure O’Reilly’s been at it longer, but I didn’t bother to check):
Based on current advertising, below is a list of companies that avoid, ban, or use the term “Christmas” in their advertising. We will continually update the list, so check back often.
Criteria - AFA reviewed up to four areas to determine if a company was “Christmas-friendly” in their advertising: print media (newspaper inserts), broadcast media (radio/television), website and/or personal visits to the store. If a company’s ad has references to items associated with Christmas (trees, wreaths, lights, etc.), it was considered as an attempt to reach “Christmas” shoppers.
If a company has items associated with Christmas, but did not use the word “Christmas,” then the company is considered as censoring “Christmas.”
They even have color coding to indicate who’d naughty and who is white nice!
Green
is for VERY good retailers,
Yellow
is for those who need a spanking and
Red
is the devil incarnate.
Some “Green” stores include Amazon.com, Home Depot and JC Penney. Some Devil stores are RadioShack, Office Depot and Victoria’s Secret.
There don’t appear to be as many evil stores as good ones, so maybe O’Reilly and the American Family Association have made some progress over the years shaming retailers into ignoring Eid and Chanukah in late fall and catering solely to Christians, who, God only knows, would never shop there until the VP of Sales came up to them and personally wished each and every one a “blessed and holy Christmas”.
