Last week, Pigdump ended the year on a happy note. Rather than whining about the nonsense of the day, the pop culture vultures who tell us what's in and what's not, we shared some heartwarming moments (except for the ass, of course) from 2001 because we were tired of what Pigdump had become.

We were hoping to start the new year on a similar note, to change the Pigdump brand, as it were. We wanted to stop being that grumpy Andy Rooney of a web site and find the good things in our troubled society and celebrate 'em. But then something happened. On the very first day of 2002, we saw an ad for Cadbury's Easter Cream Eggs.

Newsflash: Easter ain't until April, you morons, and the Xmas turkey's barely digested!

But that's what the world has become; a marketing machine for Hallmark and chocolate factories. One season ends so you clear off the shelf and bring on the next wave of holiday marketing crap so that we poor sods never get a break from spending our hard earned cash in this down-turned economy.

(And another thing... why would McDonald's want to advertise the fact that there's a little McDonald's in everyone? Hell, I go through a bottle of metamucil a month just trying to get rid of those McCheese McQuarter Pounders from my university years! Cholesterol is a selling point? McPuleeeese!)

And in the "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" category, please welcome the new Pigdump Store - just in time to stock up for your Valentine sweetheart, no?

Thanks and good luck.
