When buying a house with no money down, interest only for 3 years was exciting too.

My daughter wants this hamster toy that runs around really quick - it's actually quite silly. I'm tempted to get it for her so she realizes what a waste it is and hopefully learn to ask for a better toy next time. But this cheap Christmas idea is tempting.

@Kit
I get upset when I read about mortality rates going down. Last time I checked, it was hovering just below 100%. Now if something drastic (or miraculous?) were to happen to the remaining 6 billion of us, yeah, THEN start talking to me about morality rates going down. (Then again, I’ve always struggled with fractions and percentages, so I might have messed up my calculation – forgot to carry a 1 or something,)

Hooray for breaking gender stereotypes! Introduce little girls to race cars early, and they’ll be hooked for life.

I am guessing the actual things they are selling are listed on the website that the link in the middle of the original post leads to. So this is probably just a poorly designed advertisement.

As for spreading the cost over several months, that could almost make sense — waiting until the last second could lead you to spend too much money in desperation because you wouldn’t have time to shop around and find good gifts that still fit in your budget, or something. Or you might not be able to afford to spend a lot of money at once, and might end up paying lots of interest on your card. Etc.

@Kit Maybe it's because the stupidity is exponential? Try to take comfort in knowing that there are people outside of North America who are just as ignorant/stupid. We need a Craigslist for people with IQs over 40.

“if you want to save money this year at Christmas then it makes sense to start getting presents early so you can spread the cost of Christmas out over several months.”

That’s not saving money! That’s merely spending the same amount, a little at a time! AUGH! I don’t know why I’m so upset about this.
