Message: [QUOTE="Daniel, post: 8917156, member: 127303"] [COLOR=red][B]After going to the employee induction for my first job at a big retail store, I've noticed that Christmas is being advertised before Halloween even finishes! Aisles are filled with price tags saying "perfect for the kids!" or "Gifts for Him/Her." Plastic trees already line the sliding doors, and decorations have been put up. And the worst of it? Popular charting music is replaced with decade-old holiday songs that everyone pretends to like. One of those crappy songs?[/B] [B][media=youtube]E8gmARGvPlI[/media][/B] [B]Yeah, you guys know the drill:[/B][/COLOR] [LIST] [*][B][COLOR=red]The challenge is to survive the year in your time zone (no time travel, cheater!) without hearing the original [I]Last Christmas.[/I][/COLOR][/B] [*][B][COLOR=red]Only the original song eliminates you. Covers (such as Taylor Swift's or Glee's) and remixes (such as Whamnam Style) don't count.[/COLOR][/B] [*][B][COLOR=red]If When you hear the song being played, consider yourself [I]Whammed! [/I]This means that you've been eliminated from the competition.[/COLOR][/B] [*][B][COLOR=red]Only the audio counts. Seeing a GIF, image or muted version of the video doesn't count.[/COLOR][/B] [*][B][COLOR=red]Hearing any part of this song warrants to a [I]Whamming[/I]. If you start to hear what you may think is [I]Last Christmas[/I], continue listening to make sure it is/isn't the original rendition.[/COLOR][/B] [*][B][COLOR=red]This thread is a safe area. Don't post misleading links to the video, or enable it to autoplay.*[/COLOR][/B] [*][B][COLOR=red]Post here before December 1st, and you'll be added to the Original Participants list.

If there's a chance they'll play Christmas music, they'll play Wham![/B][/COLOR] [*][COLOR=red][B]If you must go out into public for shopping, dining or any other reasons - bring your iThing for protection.[/B][/COLOR] [*][COLOR=red][B]Don't trust [I]anyone[/I].
