Decem-beard
I'll talk about Movember the same way that my brother talked about that one FB fad where it was cool to put your favorite kids show as your display pic to raise awareness about... something ...somewhere.
"People in Africa are starving! People are dying of hunger all over the country! Go to the nearest restaurant and order a steak to show your support to end hunger everywhere!"
But I suppose it does raise awareness of the issue, and it is widely recognized (I've seen some of the older guys in town doing it "as a work thing." Even 11 year olds are being totally rad. But here's the thing: I was in the car this morning, listening to the radio, and there was an announcement about "Decem-beards."
...What? Apparently, it's "something something charity," and then the news person on CBC was like "After Decem-beard, we have 'Man-uary.'" ...What!? I just think that men are really lazy and have invented complex excuses to just not shave.
