So I guess there is some kind of fandom "movement" to make November 11th ~Matt Smith Day~.
Um or you could... be aware of the actual anniversary of an incredibly important event in international history.
Just saying.
My understanding is that Veteran's Day isn't as much of a "thing" in the US as Remembrance Day is here, but this skeeves me out. I would write it off as a bad article, but I've now seen it mentioned in three individual places. It seems like it doesn't require much more than a passing knowledge that November 11th is kind of important to think that maybe making the whole day about a fictional character based on a numeric coincidence is a tacky idea.
