A recent trip to our local, relatively speaking, Borders entertainment outlet became the highlight of an otherwise depressingly commercial week.

I've been to two craft shows in December; one at the State Fair Grounds here in Des Moines, and the other at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City. These being Iowan Arts & Crafts events, I expected a certain amount of kitsch- that being a whole damned bunch. While I am no fan of the vapid and hokey crafts that dominate markets, the near-universal appeal these items exude, nay, spew forth, effects public attraction. I see this as a positive aspect of kitsch. For the love of God why, you may ask? Numbers. Pure and simple.
