You know those magazines that are carried in airplanes, the ones that sell lots of useless shit for way too much money? Well, check this out: Now you can buy a Star of David for your Christmas tree! Is this for one of those split Christian/Jewish households? Or are we really this culturally confused? Do I put a mini Santa on the menorah every night of Hanukkah? Do I spin the dreidel to decide who gets to open their present first? How about me making a culturally insensitive Kwanzaa remark? What do people even actually DO to celebrate Kwanzaa? The only holiday celebration I can bother with is New Year’s, because everyone just gets wasted. I think we should do that for Christmas too. And Hanukkah. Hell, that one’s eight days long so you have permission to buy $400 worth of booze and go on a bender. Let’s make drinking the ONLY socially accepted holiday activity for every holiday. Washington’s birthday. St. Patrick’s Day. (OH WAIT) Labor Day. Get Out of School Day. (Come on, that’s very worthy of being made a holiday.)
Do I really have to write a full article on this one? I mean, the joke is self-explanatory. A better question might be, are there really enough stupid people to buy this and get the creators to break even?

You know the creator of this was a Jew?
