Declaring a month is when a group of people/company whatever says that it’s national something month. Some are non profit ‘poetry month’, ‘violence awareness month’, and ‘breast cancer awareness month’. Others are purely profit driven. Domino’s national pizza month is a great example of this. Way to try to ride the coat tails of black history month on that one Domino’s, you pricks. I’m ok with black history month and cancer awareness month (not breast cancer but all kinds of cancer). I think we’re almost to the point where black history month can be taken back to a week or two but it doesn’t really bother me. What bothers me is all the others. The copy cats that are trying to gain more awareness of themselves by declaring a month. These people can die in fire.

If you own a company and your marketing team tries to declare a month for your product, fire them. Then kill yourself for hiring such a shitty marketing team. Having a worthy cause does not mean you get to declare a month for it. Months are limited we can’t be declaring them for random crap. Besides this whole month thing could backfire. Is violence awareness month about being aware of violence? What should I do when that’s over with? I know! I’ll beat the shit out of people that declare months! Better yet let’s all make the people declaring new months aware of violence by kicking the shit out of them!

Using the word ‘national’ doesn’t make it any more official. It’s not endorsed by the government, nobody cares, die in fire.

Now I’ve got myself so worked up that I can’t keep what I want to rant about straight in my brain. I should have been nicer to ‘violence awareness month’ but it just happend to be the first one that came up. This issue isn’t worth that kind of anger built up. I’m done.
