TVI: October is Zero Crash into Homeless People Month

According to ICBC it is OK to crash into another car in November, or any other month except this one. This month is "No Crash Month". And since I usually get in a mild fender bender every other week, I haven't yet, so I am doing my part. Good thing they are spending millions on ridiculous ads and Prime Time TV spots. "Dude you can't drive drunk tonight, it's October...WTF is wrong with you?" That really is the conversation I had last night at the game with my buddy.

Also this is "Homeless Week", which means that during the other 51 weeks, everyone has a home and we shouldn't care. So today I will be giving the guy in the wheelchair on Cordova a shiny Toonie but next week I might only call him a dirty beggar. Perhaps I will even kick the little cup out of his hand and suggest he get a job.

Why the hell do we promote these special weeks, days or months? What an absurd society that we can't always be concerned about homeless people growing in numbers and/or starving in the wet and cold. Or that for one month you should give a rats ass about driving drunk or too fast or showing off your real sweet 'stang and how it burns out. My ECHO burns out bitch, every car does. Jesus!.

If we feel the need to promote abstaining from the unlawful or restraining ignorance for only a short while, why don't we have something actually doable. Something like "Zero Cigarette Butts on the Ground Month", or "Take Your God Damn 24 Hours Paper With You When You Leave the Skytrain Week", or "Don't Pinch Your Kid When They Eat All Your Candy Because They Bruise Easily And Daycare Will Question Mom And Then She Will Give You Shit For It And Then She Will Tell Her Mom And Then They Will Gang Up On You And Ask If You Really Want Your Kid Remembering You As Abusive Just Because He Ate The Candy You Certainly Didn't Need Anyways Fatty Month." I could actually use a reminder like the last one.
