I'm Sick of "Blank-tober"

It's been a while since I've posted about anything non-baby related, so I thought I'd get back to my roots.

On my way into work today, I heard an ad for a local auto dealership. They were advertising truck specials calling this month "Truck-tober".

Major League Baseball has had commercials running all post season trying to get fans all excited about the sport through a website: www.actober.com

And there are probably thousands of radio stations across the country that have dubbed this month "rock-tober".

Leave October alone.

What did October ever do to anyone? Why was it decided that when it came to mutilating a month in the name of commercialism, it would be poor October? I think this has gone on long enough. Either we should leave October alone or we need to equally destroy other months. We could have Brrr-cember or Back to School-gust sales.

I'll let "Octoberfest" slide...that is a holiday after all.
