YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO THE MOUNTAIN TOP FOR MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY SAVINGS, FOLKS!

I have a dream...of 40 percent off replacement windows!

KEZK's Kris Kelly will be at Champion Windows, Siding, and Patio Rooms for their Martin Luther King Day Sale. Martin Luther King Day Sale runs January 19th-21st with incredible savings like...

I thought that MLK Day ads were merely the stuff of parody, but now you can start to see that I am very wrong. Extremely wrong. (Torrid plus sizes?! Thou dost oversell and provide too much of the information.)

It's only a matter of time before Gandhi impersonators start doing plugs for our local Indian restaurants, except maybe that's too high-end for the target demo considering how many college students still can't even spell Gandhi, let alone tell the difference between him and Ben Kingsley.
