Tasteless Christmas decorations! - Page 2

I think we have the most ugly Christmas decoration in the world only 2 houses down...
They have a HUGE inflatable yellow Homer Simpson dressed in a bright red and white Santa outfit.... (when huge, I mean HUGE .... probably 10-15 feet tall....) and not only is this thing huge & impossible to miss just due to it's size (& spectacular cheezyness), it lights up at night too for everyone to enjoy...

It's the most godawful thing I've seen in my life, I'm just hoping that someone around here has a beebee fun they can aim at it one night & pop that darn thing, I think every neighbor will turn a blind eye lol .... the thing is just plainly an eyesore.... I'll go down there & take a picture of it one night, it's just too hideous for words, you'll all simply have to see it..............

Can't you try and pierce it with a pin?

Two local shops have the same Homer inflatable and I was wondering on the way home tonight if anyone had tried puncturing them!

Personally ANY singing figure drives me nuts. Funny once but thats about it!!

I was in the Christmas section the other day at Wal-mart, and they had one of those belly-jiggling singing Santas. I can't tell you how many people walked by it and said "Shut up, Santa!"

One of our neighbors has a big blow up Christmas decor fetish -- he has so many of those inflatable characters in his yard that you can't see his house. Yuck.

I hate those things. They just look so commercial to me. :phhht

I was noticing how so many people near me have those stupid inflatable things on their lawns :phhht , but during the day, they are all deflated and lying in a pile. Just for fun, here is a website with GAWWDDY decorations from years gone by. Worth a chuckle for sure...

Me, I stick to white lights, greenery, and red bows. :rudolph

Tigrazhia · 12-02-2004, 02:24 AM

Hm I think someone beat me to the punch, Homer is GONE!

It's too early to cheer just yet, I fear they may buy a new one or repair the one they've got but a girl can always dream of a homer-less Christmas.

(Don't get me wrong, I like Homer as much as the next guy but in cartoon form on my TV screen ............ :-))

PS. that ugly christmas website is hilarious....I think they need a pic of Homer though, wonder if they'll put it up again just long enough for me to get a picture of the disaster .... lol

It's not exactly Christmas decor, but it's tasteless and Christmas-related: here in Manila, some of the local police (particularly those in high-traffic areas like malls) have, in the spirit of the Yuletide season, been ordered to wear... Santa hats.

And no, I'm not making this up.

Tigrazhia · 12-02-2004, 02:37 AM

Police in santa hats? Geez.... LOL .... who's gonna take'em seriously???

And...in the midst of my sightseeing through the ugly christmas website, I found a yard that had a homer in it....

He's kinda far away and stuff but it's him!
