Holiday Blights Christmas in Yonkers This is the 2nd in a series of Ape Culture investigative features on the picturesque town of Yonkers, NY, where pop culture has gone seriously wrong. Our stealth photography captures Christmas cheer so utterly grotesque, it may be difficult for people with even low-brow taste to view. Viewer discretion is advised.
Christmas Squiggles and Parabolas This house, in an image, illustrates what is wrong with inexperienced Christmas yard displays today. In a word - excess. It begs the question, is there a house under that?
Christmas in America The ornaments upstage the US flag - those Stars and Stripes should be blinking.
Holy Hodgepodge This scene portrays British soldiers, presumably Jews, marching on an invisible manger in Bethlehem. They bear no gifts. Rudolph, with a mechanical moving head, stops in for a nosh.
An electrical ice storm throws up on this house.
Understated simplicity is a prohibited concept
for these display artisans. An intimidating perimeter fence protects this
assortment of beauty from the likes of holiday blight tourists, such as
ourselves, and international smugglers. The following showcase house (at the intersection of Roberts Avenue and Nepperhan), the jewel of this Yonkers Christmas Tour, consists of not one, but two sides of a yard area overrun with Christmas Zombies. We call this piece - Night of the Living Reborn,
Note the faces of these snow-zombies: monuments of the sub-textual horror of being a frozen man at Christmastime.
A good close-ups photograph reveals the quality of the display items.
Ape Culture hopes you have enjoyed this tour of Christmas in Yonkers and we'd like to wish you a simple, unadorned Christmas without visual assault. We'd also like to leave you with the following messages: shop responsibly and remember, there's an energy shortage. Keep all unnecessary lights off. Thank you and happy holidays.
