Is Mariah Carey's Christmas Song Remarkable or Annoying? Is the Death of Sears a Sad Ending or A 130 Year Celebration? Is It Ok to Sue Velveeta If the Label Only Includes Cook But Not Prep Time?

from The Best Paragraph I've Read... · host Zac & Don

The Best Paragraph I've Read: "At least three petitions on Change.org seek to sleigh Ms. Carey’s 1994 holiday hit, “All I Want for Christmas is You.” One begs the Federal Communications Commission to ban it from radio and calls it “the bane of shoppers, retail workers and pedestrians.” A representative for the singer declined to comment. The pop diva encourages people to start playing her song the day after Halloween. In a recent video posted by her Twitter account, she transforms from a Peloton-riding witch to a reindeer-riding Santa Claus. “IT’S TIME!!!,” she tweeted Nov. 1." This article comes from the Wall Street Journal.  The article is titled: "All They Want for Christmas Is to Stop That Mariah Carey Song."  The article is written by Joseph Pisani.  You can read the full article here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/mariah-carey-all-i-want-for-christmas-song-shopping-retail-11670857012 Zac and Don discuss Mariah Carey's famous Christmas song and its remarkable longevity.  They also discuss the fall of Sears and wonder if the company could have saved itself.  Finally, they talk about whether the lawsuit against Kraft for false labeling is legitimate.
