The Kingdom of Kitsch


I take delight in Kitsch, you know, those horrible little resin tschotskes mass produced in China, Pee-Wee Herman, and music like "Disco Duck". It should be just harmless junk.

I once read somewhere that Kitsch is like "imagining God taking a shit". I know, that's about as perverse and sacrilegious a thought a person could possibly muster. Another definition of it was "anything that took time and resources to produce and in the end, was worth nothing." It makes me think of pit bulls.

This is one of those little lists that get passed around in offices, and now are spammed for a good laugh with all of your good buddies. It's in really bad taste, but you laugh anyway.

At the end, I have included the addition of THE FIRST CHURCH OF PIT BULLS. For some reason, who ever created this list is not quite up-to-date as we are here!

  2. Hehe...I didn't foresee the icon at the bottom (had no clue how you'd tie it all together) and then I scroll down while reading and see the first banner at the top...just "if it ain't pit"...and then...a nod of glowing approval. Well played.

  3. Last one looks like a Boston Terrier, but I guess if you're looking for something to pick on, you'll find it anywhere.

      I found this posted on a facebook page called "Trying to get a million against the ban",

      So you claim this looks like a Boston Terrier, well I don't know.

      If this looks like a Boston Terrier, then you surely think the same of Sergeant Stubby, who probably was a Boston Terrier too.
      You advocates are always on the prowl for something to maul.
