Reporter: Okay. So what about Christmas decorations?
Customer: What is the date today??
Reporter: October 31, 2024
Customer: Exactly! These Consumeristic underbelly of a Superstore have the audacity to put out Christmas decorations before Halloween is even over! This is an insult to every Vampire, Witch and Ghoul in our great country! Seriously! Let us have our day! It's Halloween, for fuck sake!
Reporter: So you are angry that the Christmas decorations are being put out today, then?
Customer: I am OUTRAGED! This is America! Home of Freddy Kruger movies, Candy Corn and Caramel Apples! It's not even November yet!What's wrong with this world?

Love it! 💀
This is the first entry to the contest that I've read in a "news report" format. Good job!
I love it. The audacity, pshaw. A bit of violence, hope he not dead. Very cleverly done indeed.
lol, this was really clever. Like the format and the delivery, and also the appeal to a relatable frustration. Halloween isn’t far behind Christmas in terms of it being a capitalist frenzy, but at least the aesthetic is easier to get behind. Hope you’re having a good holiday :)
Hahaha!! I love it.😂😂
Ouch , thank you for this one, I got the point too
a sign of the times, enjoyed your story 😀😀
