Concerned Women for America Are Really Concerned About The War On Christmas
The War on Christmas
With the War On Christmas in full swing, the self-loathing fundamentalist group, Concerned Women for America, has released its Naughty or Nice list. (Because if Jesus were to return today he'd be more concerned the PR/marketing decisions of Kohl's than poverty or the War in Iraq). We'll make sure to visit the retailers on their naughty list. From CWA:
Many retailers learned the hard way last year that it just doesn't pay to mess with Christmas. Target, Wal-Mart, Macy's and Sears are among the stores that made a mid-season shift from the generic "Happy Holidays" to "Merry Christmas." Concerned Women for America's Naughty and Nice list kicks off the 2006 Christmas season with many stores - previously on the "Naughty list" or in the ambiguous middle - now squarely in the "Nice" category...CWA will also be making a list and checking it twice. If you notice a retailer that is not acknowledging Christmas, or you see a retailer that should be commended, please contact CWA.
