One of the fun things about any kind of city event is the entrepreneurial spirit with which the makers of crap sell their wares onto an unenlightened public.
I'm talking about this:
Because how else can you prove that you are a "true" fan unless you fly at least two of these things as you crawl down the highway during rush hour...
On my drive in to work this morning I counted 5 (FIVE!!) vehicles with these flags still attached. Last time I checked the Leafs ARE OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS: and were put out on April 22 - 10 days ago!
These people are as annoying as those home owners who are still lighting their Christmas lights in February. Spirit of Christmas, my ass! Try Spirit of Laziness!
Who makes all this useless garbage? I've been a firm believer in Capitalism all my life, but even I've got to ask why scarce resources should be devoted to the manufacture and sale of such craptastic merchandise...
People in this town will buy anything with a Leafs logo attached.
