Posts Tagged ‘Back to school sales’

I’m 31 years old and back to school ads still send a chill down my spine…

No doubt, the most offensive part of summer vacation when you’re a kid is the month of August when those god forsaken back to school ads start to run. “Hey kids. You know all that fun you’re having right now? Well just a quick reminder that all that shit is about to come to an end…in 4 weeks.” Thanks assholes. Thanks for dangling that sword over my head for the entire month of August.  The worst part about these ads is that they inevitably depict a bunch of happy-ass kids acting like going back to school is the best thing since pony parties and banana splits.  And how much back to school shopping do you really need to do?  Use your backpack from last year, swipe a notebook and a pencil from your folks and you’re good to go.
