There's a brilliant Dead Kennedys song called "Halloween," about how you plan all year for that one night you'll cut loose and dress crazy... but that night you're still self-conscious and hiding in a mask, and nothing's changed.

You wanna be silly and funny? Awesome, do something silly and funny. But don't wait for the Corporate-Approved Silly Day, and then just run the formula ("take product X and dress it up like endearing or ridiculous product Y"), and then expect me to be delighted by the joke, which I didn't participate in, and I could have predicted at this point since 2008. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiySknl9zs0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiySknl9zs0 http://songmeanings.com/songs/view/12529/ http://songmeanings.com/songs/view/12529/
