terryfrost at 07:37am on 21/03/2008Easter is a really shitty holiday in general, unless you're in Perth for the Natcon. Here are some reasons why:
1. No Easter action films. Xmas has a shitload of them. Die Hard, Die Hard II, Lethal Weapon, Jingle All The Way...
2. Unlike Xmas when we overindulge in hearty and more of less healthy food, Easter is all about chocolate, which is bad for you especially in the form of an egg larger than your head.
3. No presents.
4. Xmas origin movies are like a Middle Eastern baby shower with three wise men and exotic presents. (Who'd think to buy a baby myrrh?). Easter origin movies are torture porn.
5. Hot Cross Buns are really fucking bland. Panettone, yeah, not bad, but in general Easter is the holiday of boring baked goods.
6. Greek people laugh at you because their Easter is later than the official public holiday one. They get their eggs really cheaply at the post-Easter sales.
7. Any holiday that Catholics celebrate by washing and kissing someone's feet is pretty bloofy fetishistic. Not that i mind fetishes, but they pretend that it's about something else and that's not honest.
8. The shops are shut on Good Friday. This is discriminatory against we atheists who have a sudden yen for beef jerky or a six pack of James Squire Porter. It doesn't matter that I bought the six pack on Thursday, I want the option.
I need another coffee...
