Don't get me wrong, I like holidays, it means time off school so I can laze around and shit. But every holiday my mom ends up doing the cooking for at least five or six other people, and she runs around cooking and getting frustrated and eventually crying because nothing seems to be going right. So I don't like holidays, because if I'm not at Mom's trying to stay out of her way, I'm at Dad's trying not to snap at my idiotic, biased, fucknut family. And of course most of the holidays we celebrate are Christian, making me decidedly uncomfortable and attempting to hide it from everyone, as the only people who know are Dad and Tiff.
Oh well. At least snappy Mom doesn't patronize me. I can deal with being bitched out and vaccuuming.
And last night, on my way home from Ann Arbor, I saw this decal on someone's rear window that just bugged me. You know those crappy decals that have Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes pissing? Well, this one had Calvin praying at the foot of the cross.
You have a FICTIONAL SIX YEAR OLD praying at the foot of the cross. And not even a religious six year old! I'm not well-versed at all on philosophy or most religions, but if I had to make a guess I'd have to say that Calvin's more agnostic than Christian, at least with HIS mindset. And again, this is a six year old kid! (A rather egomaniacal one, but six years old, still!!) Plus, like the decals with him peeing, it's not done by the original artist (and I don't think it's even sactioned by the original artist). Why would you have something on your car that practically spits on the original character?
I wouldn't mind if it were just a cross, or a generic little kid. But Calvin? Ugh.
