Cinco De Mayo

You may not be aware of it but today is Cinco De Mayo and chances are that even though you didn't know every drunken assclown from here to West Bumblefuck knows about it. Hell they are probably out there right now at their favorite watering hole celebrating Cinco De Mayo eve.

If there was ever an excuse to drink this is it. I'm willing to bet that 90% of the people out tonight won't even know why they are out there. Won't even know that they are celebrating Mexican Independence Day. It's really taken on a life of it's own as one of the biggest party days of the year right up there with St. Patrick's Day and the night before Thanksgiving.

In fact if Hallmark can make up holidays like secretary's day, mother's day, and father's day then it makes sense that beer distributors like Budweiser can latch onto the national holidays of foreign countries. Although they have yet to latch onto anything Canadien related because as we all know Americans look down upon Canadiens. More on that to follow next week.

For now just take a look at some other holidays that either Hallmark or beer distributors should add to their repetoires:

Best friend day
Pet day
Family reunion day
National treat yourself day
Spirituality day
Sports day
Craig Shames day
