Dan sends this one in, saying, “Notice the date. I can understand confusing Labor Day with Memorial Day, maybe. But … it’s the 4th of July! How do you get the date confused?”<\/p>\n

Maybe they’re just getting an early start on 2010’s Memorial Day celebration. See, it says it starts<\/em> today and tomorrow — it doesn’t say when it ends. <\/em>Besides, this was posted in w4m. They’re obviously looking for men with enough, erm, stamina<\/em> to keep partying.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Oh come ON, people. It’s the FOURTH OF JULY. It’s right there in the name. It’s not like the Fourth of July takes place on September 23rd or something. Nobody else could make that mistake, right? Right?<\/p>\n

One thing you can say about this company — they’re not overly optimistic about how fast they can get a project done. “Full website? Hmmmm, well …. I guess we could get that done before Memorial Day.” I’m also amused by the fact that their ad has a news item from Christmas<\/em> in it. They really don’t know what time of year it is.<\/p>\n

*Memorial Day* FURNITURE SALE!….50-80% less than traditional stores<\/h2>\n

I’m not going to post the whole ad, because if you’ve ever looked at shady furniture dealer ads on Craigslist before you know what this ad looked like.<\/p>\n

Anyway, to those readers in the United States, happy Memorial Day<\/span> Fourth of July. Go forth and celebrate the independence of our nation by having a hamburger and watching qualified people blow things up. Just do me one small favor — as you’re half-listening to the “Stars and Stripes Forever” for the thousandth time, take a moment to really stop and listen<\/em> to it — and then be grateful to the french horn players, who have the most boring part imaginable in that piece. They’re suffering through endless offbeats for YOUR freedom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
