Today is 6/6/06.  This is evidently important.  Especially if you’re an expectant mother who is leaning one way or the other about whether or not you want your child to be some sort of demonic creature.

Person1:  “What if my kid is born on 6/6/06?”

Person2:  “You should have thought about that nine months ago when you decided to have a baby on that date.”

Person1:  “Umm, since when do people decide to have babies?”

The other group of people who find this date to be significant are the ones who put up the ‘6+6+06’ billboards for the Omen movie.  And that’s actually all the info about the movie that they’ve provided.  I’ve yet to see a single clip of the film in any ad.  It must be quite the movie if its most compelling feature is its release date. 

Person1:  “So do you wanna go see that movie?”

Person2:  “I dunno… what did the reviews say?”

Person1:  “Well, they said the plot was a bit—”

Person2:  “Who gives a crap about the plot?  What did they say about the date it’s opening on?”

Person1:  “Clichéd, at best.”

You liked the date, now see the movie.

-FG
