I've noticed something lately, and it's really starting to bug me. I think it was triggered today when I saw a Halloween ad on Pottery Barn's facebook page today. People got upset and angry at PB for daring to put up a fall advertisement at the end of July. Really???
Is it that serious people? With school starting next month for some kids, is it really that unreasonable to start seeing fall/Halloween stuff cropping up? Some people even went so far as calling the ad "disgusting." Please. They acted as if PB was forcing them to buy these things, just by making the ad. Have people lost all sense of personal responsibility?
It truly blows my mind that people could get so up in arms over something as simple as a fall ad. It's called self control people...if you don't want to buy something, don't! One of the comments said something to the effect of "this is like someone putting a gun to your head, because things go quickly and if you don't buy now you won't get it. So if I want to throw a Halloween party and want to order something October 1st I'm out of luck." Who waits that long??
Maybe it's because I'm pregnant and easily irritated, I just found all that ridiculous. It's probably ridiculous that it bothers me too though, haha. Anyway, thanks for reading my little rant. I feel better now!
