Easter eggs have been at coles since Monday. At the F**king checkouts too of all places.
It is wrong on SO MANY LEVELS that Easter stuff is now out not even two weeks after Christmas!!!
ARRGHHHH why can't there be a law banning releases of "insert-your-religious-occasion-made-all-dodgy-and-commercial" Day crap until like 6 weeks MAX before the day. Unless they create a whole "Commerctermas Day" (I am trademarking that phrase combo of Christmas, Easter and Commercialism all rolled into one) section which you can opt to avoid like the plague until it suits you. Like you need a swipe card and dna fingerprint scan to gain admittance to the area or something. Like I am not a religious person on any level, but GEEZ talk about retailers hitting the lowest level with removing ANY form of spirituality from the two biggest Christian/white fella religious events by having the shit commercialised out ot it!!!!
It makes me right cross! No wonder I was so freaking sick of christmas last year with crap being out like in AUGUST.
And no wonder Easter eggs don't last long with expiry dates seeming to be like a month after easter itself, I'll bet they have been sitting in warehouse shelves for months and MONTHS - like since last Easter!! Ugh. I think I might just do handmade chocolate easter eggs this year so I know they are good..... hmm, now that's a thought!! Anyone with some ripsnorter easy peasy easter egg making ideas PLEASE LET ME KNOW!
Anyway, the bit that is making me crankiest about the whole shebang is that the little eggs they have out are my favourite small solid chocolate ones...very hard to resist.
But now I am annoyed I will ON PRINCIPAL only eat Flakes and Smarties and Kit Kats and Violet Crumbles from the checkout section and NOT eat the eggs. Take THAT coles... *snort*
Back to your regularly scheduled programming of shirtless hotties now..... I nearly fainted in Myer today when I saw the lifesize image of Josh Holloway sans shirt on the davidoff promo poster. Swoon...

Hope that made you as happy as it made me...! I was trying to figure out a way to sneak out of Myer with the poster board but I couldn't get the Princess to distract the sales lady....(*ha*)
