Halloween

Halloween is at the end of the month. Not that that is breaking news, but my sources do confirm that Oct. 31 will be the day trick-or-treaters ring doorbells with the hopes of getting a king size Twix and not a pencil or raisins. But in Saban’s mind, this is all a distraction to take kids away from their studies.

Kids need to be focused on their classes, upcoming tests, reports and the like. They don’t need to be planning what costume they’ll be wearing, what party they’ll attend or what pranks they’ll pull off. Saban really is the goat, because he’s 100 percent right about this. Halloween is fun and all, but it’s not a real holiday and the quicker the youths of America realize they have more important things to worry about like prepping for the ACT and respecting your elders.

I don’t think Saban will start a petition to ban Halloween, but I wish Saban would rant about stores selling Halloween candy before Labor Day. Like, come on, I love a good Snickers and Butterfinger as much as the next guy, but can we chill with the Halloween advertisements in late August and early September?!

Savs us, Saban, you’re our only hope.
