Easter Beer and WIne Sale

Tonight Brandon was reading the adds in my news paper and came across an interesting one from United Supermarkets. The top line said, "Easter Beer & Wine Buys." I find this to be disturbing on several levels. First, this is a christian holiday, the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Christians have varying opions on the consumption of alcohol from don't do it, to do it in moderation. This add implies that Easter is a time to drink past the point of moderation. Secondly, it is like a slap in the face of Christians and Christianity. Finally, if this was a Muslim holiday, it is possible that they would mount a physically and verbally violent campaign against the offender (in this case it would have been United Supermarkets.)

I also find it interesting that the last two times Brandon has read the sale fl yer in the newspaper. I though about thsi and came to one of two colonisations. First, he might be bored with the company. Secondly, this is his way of relaxing after a hard day at the office, no beer, or liquor for him, he hits the sale adds...

It's not the company, the company is great. You just never know when you'll find such a good buy as Easter Beer. JK.
