Is there, or is there not a bumhole awareness day? If not, why not???
Every day is Bumhole Awareness Day, because never a day passes without a huge number of people being painfully "aware" of some "bumhole" or other spoiling things for them!
Hang on, though - maybe we do need a special B.A.D.? Imagine how awful life as a bumhole must be - every single day spent being compared to politicians, bullies, internet trolls, narcissists etc. Bumholes deserve our help to draw attention to this terrible slander.
And yes, If you hadn't already guessed, I agree with the OP - I find these "awareness" days mostly condescending and ineffectual. They're mostly just "preaching to the choir" anyway, and there are so many of them now, that their sheer ubiquitousness makes them incredibly easy to ignore for people who don't already have an interest. I also feel like they make being charitable into some kind of competition to see who can draw the most attention, and encourage people not to "join the dots" to see how issues relate to each other.
If only there were only 365 political issues/medical conditions/endangered species/environmental catastrophes/impoverished populations/badly treated minorities/... - what an improvement that would be!
