The joke at work, is "the kids have been out of school for 20 minutes, let's get the back to school stuff out."

I think it's silly myself, but there really is nothing in retail to promote at this time, hence the BTS stuff. The Summer items all go on sale after the 4th and it's just a matter of either they are sold or selling down, so there is no other option than to rush the next "thing" out there.
