_Jingle bells, Batman smells,  
Robin laid an egg,  
Batmobile popped its wheels,  
And the Joker got away!_

“There are 700 million of us…”😃

Our local Lite music station went Christmas crap 24/7 in November, and the ladies at work were forcing me to listen to it. I signed up with the message board on that station’s website and complained about the stupid format in a thread. The whole thread was deleted next day. So much for feedback from the people. This crappy station doesn’t even play the satirical Christmas stuff - they seem to be playing it completely straight, like they think they are on the cutting edge of a marketing coup or something. Sheeee-it.

(When they first started this insane bullshit, I honestly thought it was a joke or the station was going under. It never occurred to me that a radio station would seriously think its listeners wanted this crap 24/7 for 6 freakin’ weeks.)
