The first one of the year and you can bet what kind of articles are inundating the masses right now.

Christmas night wasn't even over before the flood of celebrity-endorsed "lifestyle" commercials were assaulting us like stones to the point of turning off the tube.  They might as well have said, "hey lard butt sitting there in your cookie dough coma...we're here to slap you out of the holiday glow so open your wallet." 

I'm sorry but that's not how I'm starting this year, desperately searching for "new year, new you" bullcrap to make me feel better about choices I made the past week.  So if you're looking for that kind of thing, you can literally go anywhere but here to find it. 

For the rest of ya's, let's find out...
