Among the onslaught of unsolicited and unwanted catalogs I found stuffed inside my post office box yesterday, one in particular caught my eye. "PajamaGram Holiday 2012" offers 64 pages of non-stop pajamas, robes and bedroom slippers for Moms, Dads, kids and even pets. Yup, there are even pajamas for dogs and cats, and if you order now they will arrive in time for Christmas, and since everyone knows Jews are too cheap to purchase pajamas and so sleep naked, this is pretty much a Christmas thing. Everyone shown in the catalog is pretty and handsome and thin and young and white, except for one salt-and-pepper terrier and a yellow tabby or two. There is
not one black dog or cat in the whole thing.
I find this shocking, appalling, ridiculous and stupefying. The company that sends it out is based Vermont, and although Vermont is the whitest state in America, I know for a fact that there are black dogs and cats there; I've seen them. So this is factually wrong. What gives? How dumb are those catalog people? Don't they know they are leaving out a huge segment of the sleeping population? And in fact, is that even legal? I think everyone should go to
www.PajamaGram.com and alert them to the fact that dogs and cats come in a variety of colors. Oh yeah, and people too.
did you go to pajamagram.com and do just that? cancel those catalogues. stop shopping. only go to art fairs and buy ME cute stuff. I love that dish so much.

If you mean the pjs imprinted with a menorah and shown on the WASPy family, I guess you are right.
