17. I find this sort of thing ridiculous and offensive.

Santa genuflecting (worshipping?) to the military teaches the true meaning of giving?

The idea that some poor kid dying just to make some rich asshole richer teaches us anything worthwhile is ludicrous. That we should be thanking a supposedly loving deity for teaching us this is offensive.

You probably should have stuck to your original way of doing things.
