Bearing gifts of Gold, Frankinscence, and MREs

[infrogmation]

I seldom get to malls, and especially tend to avoid them during the Commericalmass Holiday Season, but I'm damn sorry I missed this:

The recently reopened Lakeside Mall in the suburb of Metarie had various topical variations in this year's Xmas Tiny Town display, with blue tarps on house roofs, piles of tiny dead refrigerators, and a closed pumping-station.

...And the Mall management had it taken down.
Which is another reason to avoid Lakeside this Commercialmass.

I avoid Lakeside as a matter of general principle. Parking is at a premium there, and it's just too crowded for this crowd-phobe.

Still, I saw pics of the display, and thought it was just too funny. Shame on the Lakeside management for not having a sense of humor.

Nothing says "poor taste" like reminding people of the less fortunate at Christmas.

The artist should have washed the display away with a hose, and then the janitorial staff should have waited five days to clean up the mess.

It's back!

Someone just sent me this link. Back by popular demand it would seem!
