Christmas seriously...get in line.

I remember picking up some american flags for M's Birthday/4th of July party back at the end of June. Sure enough...Christmas Decorations were peeking at me on a back wall isle. 

Halloween night, I was out taking down some of the more delicate and expensive items for storage. I noticed my rather redneck neighbors just down the street also taking their little Halloween display down. I thought I was a trend setter until I noticed that one of them was stringing a bright multi-colored string of Christmas lights....11 PM HALLOWEEN NIGHT! Seriously?

It's like we don't give a rats ass about Thanksgiving any more...are we thankless? Are we in such a hurry to start asking people to buy us stuff that we look over the holiday that requests we give thanks for what we have...not what we want? Major retailers are even making their employees work on Thanksgiving to start the Christmas shopping season early.  You know who to blame? Us, the consumer. As long as we buy what they sell, they will sell. My Dad always said, "If a man charges 100 dollars for a Bologna sandwich...he will continue to charge that as long as somebody will pay it". 

I love Christmas. Heck I love all Holidays as a way to celebrate life, but I am boycotting Christmas....ALL Christmas until AFTER Thanksgiving. 

Really looking forward to CREEPMAS this year.

In my world, all Holidays get a turn....How about yours? 

So disappointed in Fact or Faked Bluegrass Bigfoot (Season 2 Ep216). Woodboogers are safe from these guys.

   I have been a huge fan of SyFy's Fact or Faked series...until last night. 

Pose if you are clueless!

   The team looked at a Kentucky game camera's picture of a supposed bigfoot and took off to investigate it. The sad thing is, numerous other TV shows, news programs, and Bigfoot experts/websites have debunked this to death! Over the last three years the creature in the picture has been proven, time and time again, to be a crow. 

Here is the video clip from History Channel's "Monsterquest" TV show that debunked it first:

Here is the clip from CNN debunking the same picture:

   The sad thing is this is just 2 of SEVERAL expert and or professional groups that have debunked this same photo over and over again. Even Cliff Barackman of the "Finding Bigfoot" series did a post on his blog about this not long ago. [LINK HERE]

    I have two huge questions here. First, is the paranormal/supernatural community so stagnant that this show is forced to use very old, dated, and debunked evidence to create episodes? Second: Since there seems to be an never ending flow of strange photos, videos, and other evidence, WHICH STAFF MEMBER ON THIS SHOW IS RESPONSIBLE FOR NOT DOING THE RESEARCH ON THIS EVIDENCE? All they would have had to do is Google it and they would have found countless other shows that have already examined this photo and done a way better job at investigating it than they did.

   How odd that my fellow blogger, Jessica Penot of the Ghost Stories and Haunted Places Blog, did a post yesterday lamenting the lack of investigative efforts of the show. Although the show she speaks of was an earlier show that dealt with ectoplasm, it points to the same problem. This leads me to believe they have a VERY out of touch research producer that would greatly benefit from reading and or search engines.
    If SyFy doesn't do something about their researcher on this show, I suspect we will see an episode where the Fact or Faked crew go searching for Sasquatch in the beef jerky section of supermarkets:
