Christmas is coming?
July 21st, 2008
Oh look the Christmas themed stuff is in the local sex shop’s window, must be getting to that time of the year… Hang on a second!? No, it’s still July?
Come on! I expect this sort of crap from the big supermarket chains but I expected better from the sex shop!
Honestly, the supermarkets put Easter stuff on the shelves on Boxing Day, I would have thought they’d be the ones to be first bringing the Christmas cheer. But no, this year it is the sex shop that has bolted from the Christmas starter blocks.
Please note that I avoided using Xmas and made absolutely no inappropriate reference to Ho Ho Ho…
**Update** - It was pointed out to me that this in fact may have been a Christmas in July kind of deal. If that’s the case all is forgiven

C’mon Lee, if they’re not making you pay more for….. whatever it is you’re purchasing. DOes it really matter?

Christmas in July? Does that sex shop have no concept of what is acceptable to be displaying?

Nice to know you’re keeping an eye on the industry
But yes, that kind of advertising annoys me as well, like ‘Back to School’ sales that start the first week of the summer holidays.
But fear not - when world power is (eventually) vested in me, there’ll be a few changes, and Christmas advertising is gonna be one of them. I don’t want to hear so much as a Ho! before December 6th.
Then I have plans for pigeons, mimes and people who play the accordion - yes, things are going to be better for everyone (except, of course, pigeons mimes and accordionists)…

Sigh - at least they don’t use Christmas fonts and decorations for that sale despite it being set up for Christmas.
Actually come to think of it I’m pretty certain the sex shop has a toy sale too…
Yup, that just happened.
