So, I'm sure everyone is aware of the fact that Movember has came to a close. What is Movember, one might ask?
In the month of November, men decided that somehow growing their scraggly facial hair out would help raise awareness about prostate cancer. FIRST OFF ALL, wrong end of your body. But whatever. The official Movember site states that a mans mustache will become the ribbon of men's health. Why not just get a ribbon..? Now, Movember has sparked several events, one of which is occurring now, Decembeard. And you know what comes next? MANUARY. I'm not even kidding. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Decembeard Check it out. It's legit.
Now you might think, WOW, all these men, putting their clean shaven faces on the line, for prostate awareness? HOW NOBLE. NO. Want to know what else Movember started? November 18th is now observed as Have Sex With a Guy With a Mustache Day. http://video.aol.com/aolvideo/asylum/have-sex-with-a-guy-with-a-mustache-day/671250494001 This video explains it. To be honest, I'm not really sure whether it's appropriate or not... I'm going to just assume it is, but if you're watching it at school, you should probably wear headphones or you might get weird looks. Actually, I don't even know if this will work at school. Back to mustaches now. I have several thoughts on this day. And my first one is why the heck didn't women think of it first minus the mustache part. All we've been doing is posting things in our Facebook statuses that could have a vaguely sexual interpretation, or something to do with alcohol. I have to admit, these men are smart. They're not only getting the benefit of a healthy prostate, they're getting sex out of it to. Then the second thing that crosses my mind is how did this happen. How do you just make something up like that and have it considered acceptable? And lastly, I think those crafty little mustached devils. They are geniuses, and all I can do is say I applaud your efforts. Bravo.
But go shave before I do it for you.
I'm entirely uncertain about the appropriateness of this post, I just really wanted to blog about it. Don't hate me Feick.
Not hating you at all! It is a piece of provocative and well-crafted writing, actually. You sure made me rethink the movember idea and I had no idea of the "after-effects" of it. Thank you for being aware of appropriate content, though.
ReplyDeleteI think the intentions were good, but yes. You do raise some valid points...wrong end of the body included. Ha! :)
Wow. Just watched the vid. Clever satire of society's fad of making causes "cool" or just plain wrong? I'm still trying to sort this one out...
