This is for real everybody. Guiness is trying to collect one million signatures that they will present to Congress on March 17th in hopes of giving St. Patrick’s Day the respect it deserves. The proposition states:

With nine times more Irish-Americans in this country than there are people in all of Ireland, never before has the Irish spirit been so alive. Come St. Patrick’s Day that spirit is even more pronounced as everyone reveals a little bit of their Irish side. From camaraderie in the streets to the joy pulsating in their heart, people from all nationalities and backgrounds bask in glory that is Irish.

So go to the website and sign the petition to help create a better world where we “Would not only reduce the amount of employees missing work in order to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, but officially allow people to express their Irishness.”
