Making Fun of the Million Man March

On October 16, 1995, social activist Louis Farrakan called all African-American men to Washington, D.C. for the "Million Man March," which led to controversy about whether the march attendees met the million person goal.

After the first Presidential Debate, presidential candidate Mitt Romney threatened to cut funding for PBS which receives about 1% of the federal budget which accounts for about 12% of PBS's revenue. Viewers like you are none too happy at the prospect of losing Sesame Street and access to public broadcasting and have called for a Million Muppet March to save PBS' funding.

Every time another group latches on to the Million (insert M word) March formula, it seems to diminish the magnitude of calling for a million individuals to support a social movement.

Here is a sampling of movements based off the Million Man March name: Million Marijuana March, Million Mom March, Million Hoodie March, and Million Woman March.
