I'm Dreaming of a White National Cheese Day
 
Critique of obscure commercial holidays in the U.S. The site notes "that practically every day, every week, and every month has its own name," and that "every one of these holidays has a sponsor." Includes a list of holidays, such as National Hobby Month, National Bowling Week, and Cheese Day, all in January. From Stay Free!, a "magazine that explores the politics and perversions of mass media and American (consumer) culture."
