Right, folks, you asked for it ---

I hereby take "hate" as "will leave the room" or "will throw the radio against the wall", and nominate White Christmas as the worst-ever earworm fodder. To me it's so repulsively dire that only the commissioning execs in Hollywood could have had the bad taste to extract it from one film and build another round it.

Hollywood in general, and said atrocity in particular, are part of the reason that English people, for whom getting snowed in is headline news, believe Something Is Wrong With The Universe if there's no snow on Christmas Day.

.... End of rant.
