Prepare the brain bleach, you'll need it

Just because you might have gotten all the way to December 6th without having the Christmas music completely suck the will to live from you, Justin Bieber — Santa Claus Is Coming To Town.

From the MeFi thread: "Wow. Steam punk, pop music, break dancing (including the robot!), auto tune, baggy pants, capoeira, R&B hooks and CGI elves. That thing was a complete stylistic clusterfuck."

Yep. Steampunk is dead.

Over the Thanksgiving break, we were down in Fresno and had various opportunities to be exposed to popular culture. Charlene's parents were caught up in the finale to "Dancing with the Stars". We ended up in Wal*Mart and Target. Events like that. The whole thing reminded me of why we try to avoid those experiences.

This, even more so.

(Which reminds me, one of the cameras has a picture of the "Paula Deen" shelf in the exercise section of the Target. Yeah.)
