{singing} “We are the world…”
Just now, I was responding to an eVite invitation. You know how when you are responding to eVites, they always take you to a red envelope ad. I presume the advertising logic goes something like this:
1.) You’re responding to an eVite, therefore you have friends.
2.) If you have friends, then you need to buy gifts for them.
3.) Your friends must want useless gifts that don’t really match their tastes, because nothing says “You’re a great friend” better than a random novelty gift ordered off the internet.
Anyway, today’s ad was for a “circle of friends votive holder.” I don’t know who designed this thing, and I don’t know who buys them, but all I can think of is some kind of cheesy cartoon with stick people of many colors holding hands, dancing across the screen while singing “We are the World,” with maybe a nice encore of “Kum by Ya.”
Of course, I’m sure some of my diabolical readers have already picked out my birthday gift.

how do you know us so well? I had my finger on the “add to cart” button…
Shoot, well at least i’ve got a few more months to find something equally as tacky for your gift.
