iPod/Christmas '08

It's fucked up that iPod's are the "go-to" gifts for every American household. I mean, it's one thing to forcibly decide that gifts are necessary for happiness, but another to decide to sell out and buy a new iPod for your politically uninformed kid every Christmas. And what's more, who do fuckin Americans think they are that they can live in the most idle, apathy-inducing suburbs made complete with your choice of either a lazyboy recliner or a flat screen television? I mean it becomes problematic when the most exercise you get on a daily basis is walking from the door to of your house to your car. We'll forgive you for being fat in old Stars and Stripes, but we won't forgive your gluttonous ass that goes to church every sunday and makes nice with the ol' granter of forgiveness. Don't you think that it would more appropriate to own up to the fact that you are reliant on  going to work and taking advantage of many situations on a daily basis, which could be considered more antithetical to everything holy and pure. Purity only lasts for as long as you can pay, here in America. As long as you can dish out the fee you'll behave well, but as soon as you find yourself pressed for cash, you'll take turns you never thought you would. You'll find yourself writing off these actions as if they were normal. But in fact, you are a greedy person who wants your iPod and your glamorized luxury Christmas. Your too comfortable with your glamorized Capitalist Christmas of dreams.  When all those iPod-supplying parents realize that money is about as real their new silicone implants, they wish they hadn't bothered carrying the weight of the credit cards.
