AFA's 2010 listing of War on Christmas offenders

"Based on current advertising, below is a list of companies that avoid, ban, or use the term "Christmas" in their advertising. We will continually update the list, so check back often.

Criteria - AFA reviewed up to four areas to determine if a company was "Christmas-friendly" in their advertising: print media (newspaper inserts), broadcast media (radio/television), website and/or personal visits to the store. If a company's ad has references to items associated with Christmas (trees, wreaths, lights, etc.), it was considered as an attempt to reach "Christmas" shoppers.

If a company has items associated with Christmas, but did not use the word "Christmas," then the company is considered as censoring "Christmas.""

...in these trying times

people celebrating the winter holidays with lavish gifts.

Merry Happy Season's Holiday Greetings for Christmas, dammit!

Was planning to blog on a similar subject tomorrow. this is a good jumping off point.

they should be anathema... pariahs.

Brian Fischer, “Director of Issues Analysis” for the American Family Association, said that Sgt. Salvadore Giunta had "feminized" the Medal of Honor because Giunta prevented deaths rather than caused them they should be ignored... not matter how wonderfully stupid their statements are.

:D

whats so damn wrong with not trying to offend people?!
