Astounding idea- Shit Holidays. A sales pitch follows:
"Our company(for the sake of argument we'll assume our company exists) will bring you(for the sake of argument we'll assume you exist) on a holiday of a lifetime to the most undesirable places on earth...not undesirable in the sense of dangerous but in the sense of dreary, grotty, dismal, tedious & similar adjectives of a depressing nature. A few days, week or even two in this dreadful place & your ordinary life will seem like paradise when the time comes to return. This of course contrary to the fashionable but shallow notion of your holiday being the ideal & your ordinary life being a comparative let-down. Which given the time ratio spent on compared to off holiday is a ludicrous psychological self-punishment. Everyday life will be elevated to a status of bliss when one recalls one's vacation, or if necessary- looks forward with dread to the next dose of psychological holiday treatment. One will learn to live for the day & not the future or past."

I should have known it was too much to expect that I was the originator of of a Great New Thought.
