Today is the official start of the holiday shopping season. Now thanks to a recent discovery I made, there will be no need for you to fight the traffic jams, lines and totally anarchy found in malls and shopping centers all over America. Instead you can shop from the comfort of your home at the NewsOK.com online "mall", where you can purchase authentic Daily Oklahoman merchandise like visors, coffee mugs and even a gigantic $35 "colorful poster of OSU football player Mike Hamilton." Or, as the website puts it:
Shop online for a variety of products, including commemorative items for Oklahoma's upcoming centennial and products from NEWS 9 and The Oklahoman.
Click on a category on the left to look at the neat things you can buy online right here! Or you can click on one of the products showcased on the right to go to the purchase it.
Seriously. I'm not making this up.
So do you have that grumpy right wing conservative uncle who's impossible to shop for? That's okay! Give him the perfect gift with a "cool mesh shirt" that the brilliant Oklahoman copywriters describe as:
Cool mesh shirt with banded short sleeves in blue. 60% cotton, 40% polyester with Oklahoman logo on sleeve.
Or better yet, need to find a fun silly present for the White Elephant Gag Gift Party thing at the office? Give everyone a laugh with an Oklahoman Mug. It's brilliant!
Or better yet, do you know three guys who have an odd fascination with Lord Gary England? Maybe three guys who think he should be made king of Oklahoma? If so, order them a News 9 Terrible Twister Survival Kit. And if you really like them, get Gary England to autograph it.
p.s.- I did notice that Oklahoman employees can order these products directly from "Support Services." By doing so, I assume they can get a discount. Mr. Monday, you now have no excuse to leave us hanging!
