A few years ago, just out of mock protest, I started pronouncing it FEB-roo-airy. I don't know if it's correct or not, but sometimes I just like to stick-it to my mother tongue.

Really!?!
Any protest, huh? So you'd be glad to see half a million Westboro Baptists picketing the funeral of a gay man? Or how about 500K KKK members marching through The South protesting miscegenation?

Witness the gullible throngs who blithely sigh petitions banning

Penn & Teller: Bullshït had a great segment on the desire for many to protest just for the sake of protesting, regardless of weather they believed in—or even understood—what was being protested.
