International Years We’d Like to See
Comments: 8
2003 is the International Year of Fresh Water. I like the idea of dedicating years to particular issues, but feel that we may be overlooking some of the more colourful opportunities that could help get a greater number of people involved.
To that end, a decade of suggestions:
- 2004: International Year of Throwing Up Your Hands In Horror
- 2005: International Year of Letting It All Hang Out
- 2006: International Year of Beer
- 2007: International Year of Staying Home
- 2008: International Year of Finding Money Between The Cushions Of The Couch
- 2009: International Year of Lap Dancing
- 2010: International Year of Vague Uneasiness
- 2011: International Year of Shoplifting
- 2012: International Year of Me
- 2013: International Year of Burying Your Head In The Sand

David Foster Wallace nailed it: in Infinite Jest, in the USA of the not-too-distant future, years no longer had numbers, they were named after corporate sponsors. Such as Year of the Depends Adult Undergarment.
