The Christmas diamond commercials. Don't you blood-suckers make enough money without making men feel inadequate if they don't purchase something shiny for their spouse/partner/loved one?
Christmas is not about supporting African drug lords so you can prove you're the best husband on the block. Could you just do a couple loads of laundry instead?

Amen sister!
Yes. My response has evolved from eye-rolling to downright hostility. Though it was rather fun to share some vented spleen with the Mixologist over the "He went to Jarrod's!" adverts.
Amen! Why do all of these companies hover and circle the public like vultures? I just HATE all of the commercialism they try to push on everyone. I know some people fall for it and run out to buy more with their credit cards, but I think that many people are waking up and stopping the overspending.
To be fair, they aren't African drug lords. More like war lords.
And, even they don't make the amount of money off the actually very common stone as the importers/dealers do. And, yes, for some odd reason, most of them are actually Jewish. I don't know why though. (Have you ever seen footage of inside any of the trading houses? It's really amazing.) Lends itself to some really bad anti-semitism.
I say stick with pearls. =)
