ABC Season's Greetings!
What better way to celebrate Christmas than to watch violent movie trailers on TV?
Normally I like to watch NBA games on Christmas while cooking in the kitchen, especially when the Cavs play the Warriors, but this year I had to turn off the TV before halftime. The horribly violent movie trailer commercials failed to add anything festive to my mood. Forgive me if I don't want to see Deadpool "sharing bullets" on the holidays. Or the gun-infested H8ful Eight. Or the gun-slingin' fools in Ride Along 2. Or the Michael Bay movie of war & violence.
Just this past December there was a mass shooting, terrorist attack, and random acts of assorted violence in America, only a sick culture would promote the glorification of fictitious violence on its most sacred Holiday. And only a brainless depraved audience would be entertained.
The only sane alternative to this brutish spectacle is to keep the television off. And so I pulled the plug before my Holiday spirit was ruined. I replaced the noise with music.
Music has the power to uplift the soul, whereas ABC tries to crush it.
