'''Guy Fawkes Day''', also known as '''Gay Fawkes Day''' is the November holiday when the oh so edgy members of moralfag hacktivist "collective" Anonymous don their fedoras and [[9fag]] masks and leave their houses for the [[basement dweller|first time in months]] in order to protest the Govt, among other things. Despite the '''[[fact]]''' that protests haven't done shit since the 60s, (and even for the 60s it's arguable,) every November 5th, they try to organize outside protest gatherings/parties in order to get the world/[[old Media|the media]]'s attention, and miserably fail each time.

Guy Fawkes Day is a British holiday celebrating Guy Fawkes, a man who is noteworthy only for failing to blow up the king of England. His relevance today stems primarily from 13_year_old_boy keen ability to co-opt V_for_vendetta images for their own bullshit chanology. As far as holidays go, america doesn't really give a shit about Guy Fawkes day.

But why?

In order for these internet armchair activists to feel any sense of self-worth, they must feel like they've done something so revolutionary that they will be hailed as e-saviors by not just the regulars (the media and their twitter e-pals,) but the world one day. Another factor of course, is to feel a sense of self-worth, and make themselves think that the government has given a fuck about them since '07. As such, they feel the need to try to fulfill these motivations by dressing up in cheap $5 Guy Fawkes masks, (purchased from their local Hot Topics,) and going out in public to commemorate the anniversary of a known religious extremist and terrorist bombing the Bastille.
