Weekend Mayhem

The weekend of Haloween and I am stuck trying to send in mail in rebate forms.... the faces of corporate america are showing up in my day to day life in a way i did not expect to see.
The commercialization of festivities is striking and the rest of the world is trying hard to follow...and why not? one way to loosen a customer's purse strings is as good as another.
As far as mail in rebates are concerned, I have no clue what they are or why they got instituted...what i do know is that they help the US postal service in the email generation and are extremely irritating to fill out. Also, when they say discount, the fine print means DO a LOT of WORK to get MONEY BACK from us and pay the WHOLE thing up Front

nevetheless.. the human tendency to try to get something for nothing will always kick in.
why else do ppl bargain ?

and as far as mail-in rebates go.. i've heard a theory that they're but a major plot hatched by the postal service with multinationals..
