Decem-beard

Seil · 12-01-2011, 11:40 AM

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.

This is not a valid Seil Thread since you did not title it correctly. And there's no tag to boot (you know how anal we are about that stuff).

Movember has plenty of events that raise money. Some of my friends raised a good 10,000 pounds doing movember.
Decembeard is stupid.

Do they get sponsors for having really nice moustaches?

Fuck men. I'm starting crotchtober, the equal opportunity no-shaving month.

Cocktober would work for us men.

Get back in the corner. You can come out when you have a moustache.

All these no shaving things are dumb. It's incredibly easy to not shave. In fact it's easier than shaving. All it requires is for you to be lazy as shit every day.

Being lazy as shit is not a valid way to show support of, raise awareness for, or raise money for anything. It's like if instead of having walkathons to raise money for cancer research people went around getting people to pledge if they sat around in bed watching movies all day.

It requires challenging social conventions and standards of good taste and fashion.
Shaving is heaps easier
