Finally, Christmas gets sexy!
In Los Angeles, Madison 3rd Street store was protested last week for their nativity store display. Apparently the scene was too sexy, with the Virgin Mary donning a short dress with an eagle spread,holding the baby Jesus. The "3 wise men" are all Rodeo Drive ready while an angel appears to be coming down from heaven...or the 2nd floor of Express. Whatever.
I wasn't even gonna write about this cuz it's the pettiest story I've heard all week. Of course this raises moral and religious concerns,but why? Look, I mean really look at what Christmas has become.
Women are getting trampled 2 get a toy hamster, there are books on how to "re-gift" properly, and some schools won't even allow children to have Christmas/holiday parties. Due to America's need to be politically correct Christmas has become a circus, an elite aftermath of Thanksgiving and any missed birthdays combined,not to mention a chance to "get into the spirit." While "Merry Christmas Charlie Brown" gets cut into by President Obama's war announcement, little kids are told Santa doesn't exist cuz they're not Christian.
So when I thought about this story I wondered what's the big deal? This store is doin what every other business does-using the hype of the moment to attract business. Christmas has lost it's meaning in America simply cuz it's a religious holiday, and this is a culturally ignorant society. America has an economical, NOT moral or ethical, need for Christmas and the only way to feed that need is making sure EVERYONE can celebrate Christmas,without really celebrating Christmas.
I think the store manager had the perspective of trying to be open minded and traditional. That's it. I don't see any success in simply putting Santa's fat ass in the window cuz Madison's shoppers are not traditional, they're trendy...like Mary's sexy ass in this window. Lol just kidding.
Really though,this is a try-to-please-everyone type of society. Land of free speech and expression,but also freedom of religion. Lol like that was ever a good idea!!
The protesters of this display are afraid. They're afraid that the good Christian tradition and morals this honest country was built upon are being spit on by the idea of creative evolution with the careful consideration that oh, I dunno, EVERYBODY DOESN'T BELIEVE IN JESUS!
It's important for stores and other businesses to start doing the same; taking advantage of their right to manipulate society's thwarted view on morality to sell some shit. We've allowed our cocky habits to make us think other ppl have to give a fuck about our particular practices and beliefs. If ppl had left Christmas alone,this wouldn't be goin on,but we as a country have ordered each other to be so culturally sympathetic,instead of just not celebrating it,we want the holiday specially tailored and whatnot.
Why hasn't anyone mentioned how unhealthy Mary looks, or why the 3 wise men seem like 3 hot chicks? Cuz,that aint Christmas-argumenty enough. I like the damn display,it's different. And SO is this massacre we've been calling Christmas.
