wildlife of africa
Item:
A fifteen-month calendar: The Wildlife of Africa’s Heartlands. 2006-2007! This thing is good for another 8 months, minimum!
Why It’s Here:
Let’s face it: if you’ve seen one lion, you’ve seen ‘em all. They’re just oversized kitties, dammit.
Probable Recipient:
Someone who needs a calendar but prefers half-obsolete merchandise.
Calendar stores at the mall:
What’s the deal with that? Do people seriously buy calendars in that sort of volume, that a store could continue to exist based just on those sales? Do they care that goddam much about what the thing they write their dentist appointments on looks like?
I guess there’s the cute pictures of animals thing. (Or of archicture. Or of chicks in bikinis. Etc.) But what about the Internet? Here is a ready, free source of plentiful kitty and building and softcore imagery, and you can look at more than 12 pictures a year with it.
Mall calendar stores. Seriously. What the christ.
