HAPPY FREAKIN' CONSPIRACY
MONTH!
February is Conspiracy Month. It used to
just be that there was just a Conspiracy Day, but the management has
deemed the insidiousness of this event to warrant a whole month of
paranoia.
This month you will find yourself surrounded by vile pink hearts,
beckoning you to express your inner sap by busting out your wallet and
purchasing a card with a flower cutout heart photo on the front and a
message inside such as "The nicest kind of day is one that's
filled with thoughts of someone special... this is that kind of day, and
you are that special someone." What the hell kind of crap is
that? I've read emails with more meaning. And what's
up with those candy hearts anyway? Don't you ever wish you could
give ones away that said, "Go $%#^@ yourself!"
or "Touch me and die, @!*%head." And how many boxes of
chocolates can one take? I can't really say more on that beyond
what has already been said.
This month is all about couples. Big business wants you not only to
buy all their stupid lovey-dovey junk, but they also want you to procreate
and have little consumer demons. It's well known to all who
think about it that February is that dead time of winter before spring
when people are totally depressed. No one would procreate during
this time of the year unless encouraged by contrivances such as Conspiracy
Day. It is quite unnatural and immoral.
In my past experience, I have also had an inordinate numbers of quizzes
and tests on Conspiracy Day. I am still very bitter about that
Calculus test I bombed two years ago on Conspiracy Day. If it's
going to be forced upon me as a holiday, it should also cause school to be
closed.
For the above reasons, this month is declared to be Conspiracy
Month. Fear not, my friends! Good shall triumph over
evil! You can help the side of good by boycotting this unnatural and
vile holiday. Do not purchase goods related to this holiday.
If you feel you must express your love for certain fellow human beings,
don't do it through helping consumerism. And by all means, do
not procreate! Furthermore, I believe Conspiracy Day is all about
dishonesty-- giving cheesy greetings to people you really don't like
and crying that you aren't spending time with the person you really
love because you're too scared to say anything. Therefore, to
fight the forces of evil, try to make Conspiracy Day a day of honesty
instead. Fight, and we shall win!
Yours in the good fight,
MQ
