I was playing with the remote control yesterday, having a look at the usual crap the different channels are offering us when near Xmas. I stopped for a minute in some channel when 'famous' people and 'celebrities' were talking about Xmas. Somebody said they liked Xmas because of the 'wonderful smell of the Xmas trees' on the streets. Uh? What smell? The smell of plastic needles? I have not smelt a 'real' Xmas tree in ages! I can't remember who this celeb was but considering their generally not very high nor cultivated intellects, it may have been that they were referring to plastic Xmas trees. It wouldn't surprise me. At all.


Ayer estaba jugando con el mando a distancia, cambiando de canal en canal para ver que cantidad de porqueria nos ofrece la television ahora que se acerca la Navidad. Pare por un minuto en un canal donde famosos y famosillos hablaban sobre la Navidad. Uno de ellos de cuyo nombre no puedo ni acordarme, dijo que le gustaba la Navidad por el 'maravilloso olor a abetos' de las calles. Eh? Pero que olor? Sera el olor de los abetos de plastico, no? Porque yo no he visto un arbol de Navidad 'real' ni en calles ni en centros comerciales desde hace anios! Aunque, reflexionando, se me ocurre que como estos 'famosillos' no gozan de un gran coeficiente intelectual, igual si que se referia a los arboles de plastico. No me sorprenderia. En absoluto.
