How can a huge corpo giant that makes waaaay too much money take Christmas away from their employees? Wasn’t jumping on the skateboarding bandwagon good for them? Perhaps they rather spend those dollas on featuring at least 10 high profile faces on their NEW one-minute “Original House Party” commercial. I wonder how much each of […]
