Day 13 - 25 Days of Ridiculous Things I See In Holiday Catalogs -

Zombies.


Seriously, what's with the f'ing zombies?  Are zombies the new bacon? -- what's going on here??

Okay, yes, there are a lot of good zombie movies and shows out there.  They are fun to watch, and some of them are really well done.  But, this onslaught of zombie-themed paraphernalia as a result of said movies and shows REALLY needs to return back to the grave from whence it came.

However, my annoyance with the flood of zombie apparel and knickknacks notwithstanding, they have made this list here on day 13 because they are a ridiculous item to have in a holiday catalog (and they are in abundance this year) - Halloween catalog?  Sure, of course, that makes perfect sense.....but, not here...no, not a zombie in a Santa hat....come on, why????

And the other thing... my ridiculous catalogs are just phoning it in.  They're taking their tired old items and just zombie'ing them up -

Case in point:
The ever popular keep calm and carry on shirt...zombie style:  (covering TWO annoying trends in one!!)



A dumb shirt with a "clever" slogan where you call someone else stupid...zombie style:


The adoooorable little people that represent the members of your family all over the back of your car magnets...zombie style



Oh, and one of my favorites -- the FAUX SHIRT...zombie style


What's worse than the faux shirt?  Faux feet....zombie style


Wretched, I hate them.


But, what's even weirder than their recycled ideas done zombie style are the completely random things thought up just to feature zombies, like this:



 Headless Zombie Yoga Warrior

What?  Headless Zombie Yoga Warrior??  What the hell? -- Why?  who thought of this thing?



Or this nonsense:



Zombie Marilyn. Why?  Just tell me why.  I mean...aren't we just reaching now???  

Ridiculous, and definitely NOT a good stocking stuffer.
