March is colorectal cancer awareness month

If you weren't aware, March is colorectal cancer awareness month, and I don't what I'm supposed to do about that. I was already aware that it existed (although I didn't know we could call it colorectal!). Are we all supposed to go to the butt doctor this month? Cause I refuse. Don't trust any perv who went out of his way to become a doctor of the butt. I mean, that dude had time to think about that decision very carefully.

Mostly I'm just sick of every day, week and month ... being something. Just leave it alone. It's just March. I believe it all started with February being black history month, which was fine, and done with a purpose. But then others caught on and figured out they could name other months. And some named a month for a second time. And weeks within those months are also named. And each name gets stupider than the last.

I was forced to listen the oldies station (nothing against oldies, just very repetitive when you listen for six hours a day) and those bastards would always inform you that it was "Adult Diaper December," "Grape Jelly January" or "Get Your Pet Spayed or Neutered Week." Now, at my paper, we receive the occasional story that reads, "Not counting skin cancers, colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer found in men and women in this country. " Third most common? After eliminating skin cancers? Do the first two, and the skin cancers, also have an awareness month? If not, I don't see why we should start so far down the line.

My goal in life is to lead a crusade against all month/week naming, but since I'm far too lazy, I'm hoping someone will read this and grab the baton. If you want to create awareness, you don't need to have a designated month. Maybe I'd like this trend better if they had "Stuff Your Face With Shrimp Month" or "Shove Someone Down a Flight of Stairs Week." We'd all have to keep our head on a swivel!
