Crimes Against Literacy. . .

. . . in Xmas “movies.”

I caught a very strange sound, in passing as it were, from a made-for-TV “Xmas movie” that jarred me into stopping and paying attention for a moment. Yes, indeed some idiot had elected to have a “caroling choir” sing “Greensleeves” as a processional for a “Cmas wedding.” No, not the Xmas carol lyrics to “What Child is This?” but to the actual lyrics of Greensleeves.” As a supposed wedding processional.

Yes, as the “bride” made her way down the aisle, the “caroling choir” sang,

“Alas my love you do me wrong
To cast me off discourteously. . . “

*head-desk*

My brief attention turned immediately to mocking. Someone should give a dopeslap (using a brick bat) to every moron involved in that production.

  1. I ‘m sorry, I know I shouldn’t be laughing about this. Some people just don’t think, or they don’t see the irony in their choices.
    When they do they’ll probably be mortified.

      1. Yeh, Perri, at least it wasn’t a real wedding, but given the poor choices (by writers, director(s?), actors, producers), I don’t think it was much of a “real” movie, either. *sigh*

        But laughing at it? That’s the kindest reaction, and is to your credit.
