i'm pissed they left out festivus. i guess it's just for the rest of us.

Kwanza is kind of a bullshit holiday.

However, solstice has a very specific astronomical and seasonal definition. I guess these ass-hats are belaboring under a pre-Copernican model of the universe.

Sheeit. As long as people keep caving to silly shit like this, bedwetters just gonna keep on wettin' their beds. Seriously Gap: you could do without this particular demographic.

Our modern Christmas is based on the pagan solstice holiday. Early Christians who encountered it in Britain couldn't kill the pagan celebration, so they co-opted it, claiming it was really about Christ's birthday.

No one knows when during the year Jesus' birthday actually was. Could have been the height of summer.

Don't things like yule logs and bringing a tree into the house and whatnot strike any of these "family groups" as a bit pagan? What does a decorated pine tree have to do with the Bible?

As if we needed more proof: religious fundamentalists are stupid.

I think it probably takes more than a week to get a commercial together and get ad time and everything yeah?

I actually agree with Blabby on something.

I'm going to wash my eyes out now.

I love how they get Old Navy and the Gap confused in their press release. (I do the same thing.)

They need to post an ad with baby jesus sitting on santa's lap. Now that would be sweet.

The Gap did not cave. They announced that a Christmas commercial that has been in development for quite a while (since before the AFA started screeching) is being released this weekend. In the press release where this was announced they chided AFA for it's misleading campaign. The AFA is trying to spin it like they had were twisting the Gap's arm, and they finally cried "Uncle" but that is not the case.

Please wait...
