Anything OVERSIZED and INFLATABLE would be outlawed. OUTLAWED.

For example, this lovely 9 foot inflatable “Airblown Santa Riding a Chopper” GONE.

Call me QueenRobin Hood. I’d rob from the tacky and give to the poor and mandate that such $90 lawn decorations be returned immediately and all money handed over to charity. Including the amount of electricity it costs to maintain a fleet of ridiculous blow up dolls on a front lawn. (If you’re interested in finding out what the cost of holiday decoration displays are, click here.)

Yes, even the penguins.

Who created these monstrosities and WHY?

From the JournalStar

Most come from one company — Gemmy Industries in Coppell, Texas. It is the same company that gave us Big Mouth Billy Bass, the singing trophy fish a few years back and created this year’s blinged-out rappin’ fuzzy reindeer and snowmen. The company makes 1,000 varieties of Gemmy Airblown Inflatables — more than 400 for Christmas alone, and more than 300 for Halloween.

And is this quote telling or WHAT?

Home Depot sold out of its NASCAR inflatable featuring Tony Stewart, his race car and Santa, in just a few days. Santa, wheels and speed seem to be three top desires for inflatables.

Queen AllThingsJennifer declares: NOT FESTIVE. And I hate you Gemmy Industries and all the people who actually sign up for your Airblown Inflatible Collectors Club.

God said “Let Their Be Light” but I don’ t think anyone could have imagined the lights shining into outer space off of our blow up doll front lawns in 2007.

And since I’m not queen of the world all I can do is ask…can this trend be over soon please? Thank you.

    There must must be something wrong with me lol, but ever since I moved to America many moons ago I have become infected with the joy of kitsch and tacky. No I don’t have them myself, but somehow I enjoy it all, lol!
