i plan on getting THAT and a Michael Richards Sambo doll for ALL my homies this Kwanzaa…another made-up holiday

That’s interesting, for me at least. I don’t know what you’re talking about, Debbie.
I never watched one single episode of that “Seinfeld” show. Nor “Friends,” nor any of that crap. I just heard about them and saw some clips.
Did I miss something?
Does that mean I’m a boring person?
I don’t like sitcoms, nor these so-called “cops”, “forensic” and “doctors” shows that are on TV these days.
90% of my time, when I need news and entertainment, is spent online.
Does it make me a boring person or a smart one?

I think people are purchasing said poles because they are stricken with a very serious medical condition called a “sense of humor”. Symptoms of this terrible, terrible disease are often laughing at “jokes”, and producing “jokes” yourself. Sufferers have also been seen “smiling” and “enjoying themselves”. So far, there is no cure.

Don’t worry IC, I’m a “more boring” person than you…expecally considerig my age (24). So your still relevant to me as a person.
Well, I guess with this so-called holiday, just puts another nail in the word “Christmas”.

Thanks Squirrel3D for lifting my spirit on this Christmas season. I thought I was the only member of what people might think is the “Boring Club.”
Merry Christmas!

To me, it is no different than people who actually celebrate Qwanza, which is also a fake holiday.

Kwaaaanza is another fake holiday – and invented by a Black Panther.
I wonder how long until the multicultural bulletin boards on middle schools across America announce Festivus the way the ìChristmasî decorations in my townís public school currently wish everyone ìHappy Kwaanzaî?

I never understood the whole Seinfeld thingy.
I watched about 20 seconds of it (that’s the most i’ll do … like the simpsons, etc.) and determined that a show about unfunny whiny New Yawkers was a complete waste of time. Life is too short.

Two things:
The amount of TV you watch has nothing to do with how boring or exciting you are. If you are unable to appreciate humor of any kind, you’re probably boring. But humor is like beauty, it’s personal opinion and there is no right or wrong. Liking sitcoms is not a prerequisite, nor does it make you a simpleton.
and
Festivus was a joke on a TV show. Buying a “festivus pole” because you think it’s a funny conversation piece is fine, similar to buying a t-shirt with a catch phrase from the show printed on it. Buying a pole to actually celebrate a joke holiday from a sitcom is just plain stupid. If you do that, then yes you are stupid. But I think the majority of the people buying these poles are doing it because they saw it and said, “Hey, that is hillarious! I gotta have one!” To accuse them of “celebrating festivus” is also pretty stupid.

It’s part of my war on Xmas. Christ’s dad was a rapist (Mary) and a conductor of genocide (ordered the Hebrews to exterminate the entire population of the people of Ai). Not the kind of family I like to celebrate, and with all the whining ‘war on xmas’ people, I don’t want to be in the company of xmas celebrators either.

Festivus did not begin on Seinfeld. A simple Google search would verify that.
