Happy Irony on the Radio

When we were driving back from picking up our Christmas Tree we were listening to a local station on the radio. During one of their station identifier/promo spots they said something to the effect of “Happy Holidays from Portland official Christmas music station.”

They can’t say “Merry Christmas” because that’s not politically correct. We need to not offend those that don’t celebrate Christmas, so we’ll use the generic “Happy Holidays” saying. However, we will blantently say that we are the “official” home for Christmas music on the radio in Portland. I’m sure there’s not a huge market for Hanukkah or Kwanza music in the Northwest, but still. I guess I think it’s rediculasly inconsistent on their part.
