Spendo
BRITAIN'S major retailers have joined forces to create a new shopping-centric deity called 'Spendo'.


If Jesus had done a three-for-two DVD offer, he might still be alive


According to the new belief system, Spendo is a benevolent spiritual being who lives in all products, but only while they are quite new.

Reverend Tom Logan, a Spendist minister at the Boulevard Retail Park in Peterborough, said: "Historically, the major religions have disagreed on key points, which has led to things like social awkwardness and global conflict.

"Such differences are particularly evident during the holy festival of Xmas leading to resentment among people who don't believe in the Bible, wise men or snow.

"But everyone, regardless of creed or colour, loves getting stuff."

1. LOL!
"The more you spend, the more Spendo is appeased. Though it is worth bearing in mind that if you spend less than a grand this Christmas, regardless of your income, he will destroy your house with lightning, dunk your pets in a vat of acid and cause your next child to be born a blind lizard."

:rofl:
