Proof That Christmas Is, Actually, Not The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year.
Christmas Evil.
Blackwater Tree Ornament
Remember private military firm Blackwater? They’ve since changed their name to Xe Services then Academi then Constellis and now they’re officially known as Puppy Dogs & Kitty Kats.
In March 2007, their “contractors” murdered 17 Iraqi civilians. Later that same wonderful year, they offered the above X-Mas ornament with their joyful bear print logo for a mere $11.50 (plus shipping). I put it on my tree right next to Rudolph!
Argos 2010 Christmas Ad

Warehouse One
In 2007, the Canadian jeans store chain ran a very tired dick-in-a-box promo ad. Merry XXX-Mas, sweetheart.
