The Decline and Fall of Western Civilization, part 38

OK,

It's confirmed. There is no hope.

My evidence? The "Lazboy 13.6 Foot Rectangular Solar Lighted Cantilever Umbrella with Base" advertised in a recent Bed Bath and Beyond circular.

It's..it's...solar powered? It seems that it has LED lighting which, I'm guessing here, is the must-need-gotta-have for those whose compact fluorescent illuminated beach umbrellas are just too 15 minutes ago.

Just when was the last time you went to have a nice relaxing siesta under your beach umbrella, and reached for your flashlight? Just what problem does this solve?

Well, as I said, it's SOLAR POWERED, so it must be good, and at only $299.99 it must be quite the bargain. I further note that if you're soon to be married you could even add this necessity of life to the store's bridal registry.

We are not a serious people.
