Americans are grateful once a year.

We celebrate that fact on one day in November, Thanksgiving.

What are we grateful for?

Well, mountains of food of course … turkey and stuffing and pie and potatoes and gravy and cranberries (Fucking cranberries! How did that low calorie anti-oxidant get in here?) and all kinds of other mounds of stuff that we overeat.

Then there’s the postprandial nap to be grateful for, the football, the death-dealing trample of mad-dash sales of mountains of cheap shit we don’t really want but buy anyway because it’s cheap and we transiently feel good about ourselves when we do, the time off work, and so forth.

And, let’s not forget to celebrate, and be grateful for, the abuse of indigenous populations. Oh, and the death, disease, destruction and displacement and the rewriting of history these fine folks endured and continue to endure.

As I said, or maybe I didn’t, lots to be grateful for.

So, people all over the world, please join with us, and with all the turkeys at Doctor Funny, and show us all the persons, places and things you’re hateful — not grateful — for.

You’ve got all of November to do it. All, that is, except for one day. On that day you can join us and stuff yourself like the turkey that you are. And be grateful.

“The rules”

💕 Be hateful, not grateful

💕 Be funny

💕 Submit your fine work to Doctor Funny
