So, there's this law, Godwin's Law, that states that if a conversation or argument runs long enough on the internet, it will eventually lead to Nazi's or Hitler.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwins_law
It generally makes the disscussed argument invalid because now it just seems like you can beat any argument to pointing and histories greatest villains and saying, "They did it," or comparing something to them. I'm not really going to go into the details of the law, but I always found it more of a constructive meme. Arresting faulty arguments and statements before they go too far. So to celebrate this, I think for a humours look on things, we should make a day of it:
[HEADING=2]Godwin's Law Day![/HEADING]
On October 26, the birth date of Mike Godwin, for the entire day, you are to crame as many things about Nazis and Hitler into conversations as possible. No, not tastless things nor just yack on about him, but whenever you see an opening, go for it!
Eg:
"So, I was watching King Kong the oth-"
"You know that was Hitler's favourite movie!"
"..."
"Just sayen'."
So what do people think? Should we spread this further then what it already is?
EDIT:
This is early to see if it is a good idea, visable, and for promotional work. I want to see a wikipedia page about this event people! Facebook it!
