I think this was stolen from the onion twelve year ago.

Listerine: tacky christmas parties are so played out and farking annoying

I agree. I cashed in this year though. I've already sold about 300 ugly Christmas sweaters this December. Give me your money, hipsters! (you know you want a Member's Only jacket too...)

Listerine: tacky christmas parties are so played out and farking annoying

Tacky Christmas parties have lost all their ironic value and are now back to just being tacky.

I think this happened as soon as they appeared on the "Stuff White People Like" list.

I came here for the clown sweater.

"Laura let out of the house wearing that sweater? It's a Cosby sweater. A COSBY SWEATER!"

Good. Hopefully, this means that my grandmother won't be able to give me the traditional god awful itchy, uncomfortable, horribly tacky modified burlap sack that I have received EVERY YEAR FOR THE LAST 30 YEARS! Maybe I'll finally get something useful. Like a savings bond.

So, a bunch of people too stupid to knit their own sweaters have a problem. Fark them all!

Came for the Wil Wheaton Ugly Sweater. Left satisfied.

I hate tacky christmas sweater themed parties. I don't have one, don't like wearing them, and don't like all the "well you don't have any christmas spirit so you don't get dinner and we won't give you any beer" crap I get for showing up in normal clothes.
 
2009-12-19 01:49:26 AM
I think I took it to Goodwill a few months back, but I had a too-cute-to-be-ugly sweater with a couple of not-cartoonish penguins on it. I had the intention of wearing it around Christmas time, but it was too damn itchy. I didn't know I was being ironic. I like penguins. And I happen to sort of be a dork.

Damn it. I have been wanting an ugly Christmas sweater for a couple years now. I just couldn't bring myself to fork out the cash. I don't wanna be a hipster. Hipsters wouldn't have me.

"Mocking the holiday that their parents loved and cherished, and ridiculing the sweaters that they were too stupid to realize are dumb, has become a cherished holiday tradition for many jaded twenty-somethings. This year, many will go without."
FTA..
This statement made me think. I wonder if Christmas could end?
not completely stop, but so antiquate that it is is just a pale ghost of its former self. I notice a lot of family's not really celebrating as in the past, and our parents did not as I've read in books and seen in old movies.
Do we really need this (or for that matter, any) holiday, does it serve some truly important "thing"?
Anyone else get the same feeling? or am i just looking for something that's not there?

Going to an ugly sweater christmas party tomorrow - couldn't find an ugly sweater, getting a kick...

Oh well, I'm sure if I bring enough alcohol no one will care.

Lazy hipsters....

Goodwill / Value Village / Salvation Army.

If you try even the slightest, you'll find a horrible holiday sweater.

That said, I'm touchy on the phrase 'ironic hipster' since I've been falsely accused of that in the past. I wasn't a hipster, 'cause I didn't care. I just had the unfortunate timing that hipster girls started adapting my style a year or two after I embraced it. By 'embraced' I mean 'felt the most comfortable / was easiest to wear skirts. You get the plus of being on top of the wave of fashion, but the downside is everyone assumed you're following a trend.

Also you can like Journey and ABBA unironically, dammit.

For the record (while we're talking about hipsters), I started drinking PBR because it was the cheapest beer you could buy for a keg party that wasn't completely crap. Then I got used to the taste of it, so it's my go-to cheap beer. Well, PBR and Strohs.

But if PBR >> cheapest beer in the bar/venue/etc., I can skip the PBR.

EggFool: bumpit

Can I take this as an opportunity to biatch about those godawful Bumpits things? Because damn, those things really just look stupid as hell. They make the women in the advertisements look like cone heads. Although, I can't say I've noticed anyone actually wearing one of those things in real life. Who's buying them?

Look closely at the firetruck and riding on it is the girl he (allegedly) raped and murdered in 1990.

Only the angry woman in the above photograph, apparently. She is less than pleased with both the bumpit purchase and her sweater selection, now that she thinks about it.

She comes in colors everywhere: but what does this have to do with cows?

Well, wearing sweaters can make you thirsty, if it's too hot out. So then you crave a burger.

Don't worry, there are millions of Christians and millions more Muslims that won't let you forget.

And that's ok, tradition is good.

But damn do I hate hipsters. The funniest social group to me right now is the emos on the cusp of becoming hipsters. Such an awkward stage.

Kind of like that metalhead we all knew that went punk. There's that transitional phase when they are figuring out the new vibe.

I don't know what this is, but I keep reading "bum pits". Which sounds godawful, I have to admit, whatever it is.

There's no stains on them. They've obviously been washed recently. Those sweaters aren't ugly enough for hipsters.

See the angry fat girl with the weirdly high hair? It's a thing that sits on your head under your hair to make your hair look bigger. It seems to make people angry.

You're thinking of hippies. Hipsters still wash stuff, but they deny it.

Oh! I see, it's like a "rat". Thanks :-)

I think I still like "bum pits" better.

Or put their jeans in the freezer when they start to smell.

GAAAAH! How could this help? I hope he didn't keep any food in that freezer.

/Of course he didn't - he was a person who froze his pants rather than washing them.

//I presume he's passed away of unnatural causes?

I admit, I bought one. It made me look like Amy Winehouse.
