Denim Day?

I tuned in to the morning news on KTLA and was wondering why the usually well dressed weatherman was wearing jeans and a casual shirt.  Other online talent was also in jeans.  They finally explained why - it's "Denim Day in L.A.", the day when wearing jeans suddenly means you support a particular social cause:
Denim Day in LA & USA 2010
Peace Over Violence is proud to present the 11th Annual Denim Day in LA & USA 2010, a campaign to raise awareness and educate the public about rape and sexual assault. This year it is Wednesday April 21, 2010.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE
By wearing jeans on Denim Day April 21, 2010 you:

Send a message to survivors that you support them in their healing!
Commit to become more educated about sexual assault!
Break the silence surrounding sexual violence!
Of course I oppose domestic violence, but this seems like a pretty silly way to fight it or support its victims. Millions of people wear denim every day, but suddenly they're making a statement instead of just being comfortable?

This did, however, give me an idea.  If we can just arbitrarily declare that something people routinely do has some special social meaning, I think I'll declare my own special day:  Breathing Day.

If you're breathing on Thursday, April 22nd it means you support the following:

  • Opposition to Obama, Pelosi, and Reid on all of their liberal issues
  • Opposition to the global warming alarmists promoting cap-and-tax and carbon restrictions
  • Opposition to all Earth Day silliness.
Get out there a breathe, people!  Show the world you support the Breathing Day cause!
