The JesusZilla Tacky 4Life! Awards thread! →[More:]

first off, a little background. THIS is JesusZilla. (go ahead, click that link now, or else the rest of my blathering won't make much sense.)

JesusZilla is the conceptual child of an insanely wealthy Southern Ohio shipping magnate; a guy against whom I used to compete in Quarter Horse shows back when I was a wee lass. Now, for the uninitiated, I have to admit that QH shows are, in themselves, a bastion of All Things Tacky. And yes, we all KNEW we were tacky as hell and didn't much care. I mean, come on, it was the 80s, tacky was so hot right then. So riding around in dayglo rhinestone costumes looking like the unholy love children of Cowboy Woody, JonBenet and Liberace was pretty much the norm.

So, not only do I know the dude who built this Monument To Tacky, I used to pass JesusZilla on the way to work every morning, and (when I wasn't idly wondering if dude should have himself committed to the crackershack... you should see the rest of his ranch) think "wow, that would make a great All Things Tacky award".

Anyway. On to the point of all this rambling. I was in the grocery store last night, and decided that, for their practise of installing little automated sound systems in the produce section so that you hear REAL THUNDER AND LIGHTNING SOUND EFFECTS!!! when the sprinklers go off to keep the lettuce moist -- I hereby award one JesusZilla Tacky4Life! award to: King Soopers!

(also an Ohio-based company... hm. I sense a trend...)
