Yes, because what everyone really should be doing is going to a mass, then going to the feast of St. Patrick and thanking him for saving Ireland.

So, some idiot blog is going to talk about how someone is farking something up by using a slide show of nothing but stock images.

Blimey.

FTFA:

From a U.S prospective here are ten reasons why dislike St. Patrick's Day.

Dislike the whole thing?

Yeesh....I bet the author is a blast at parties.

vernonFL		2013-03-13 11:53:22 AM

I think we Americans perfected St. Patrick's Day.

We get blotto drunk, eat corned beef and cabbage, listen to dropkick murphys type music and drink McDonald's shamrock shakes.

Sapper_Topo		2013-03-13 11:58:55 AM

Ugh I hate St Patricks day since I moved to Butte. This place will be a living hell starting Friday night and on through Sunday Morning...

And then getting shiatfaced, which is pretty much exactly what happens.

Jake Havechek		2013-03-13 12:45:24 PM

The Irish in America celebrate no longer being in farkin' Ireland, which is good enough.

As long as the silly buggers stay in Southie, I got no problem with them.

You should have seen his 27 slide denigration of Mardi Gras. It was epic.

MyKingdomForYourHorse		2013-03-13 12:46:15 PM

FTA - March 17 doesn't give you a license to endorse a stereotype and insult a nation

This is correct, this one day of the year doesn't give you license to do all that.

However us Irish acting how we do the other 364 days of the year does.

Crewmannumber6		2013-03-13 12:47:45 PM

St. Patrick's Day in Ireland looks more like St. Patrick's Day in America with each passing year.

Master Sphincter		2013-03-13 12:47:55 PM

I love the irish because they tolerate all the stereotyping without claiming racism.

jpo2269		2013-03-13 12:49:05 PM

Funny, spent St. Patrick's Day in Limerick two years ago and quite frankly I couldn't tell the difference between how the Irish celebrated and we celebrate over here...

Jake Havechek		2013-03-13 12:49:24 PM

On the seventh day the Lord rested, but before that he did, he squatted over the side of England and what came out of him... was Ireland

Snarcoleptic_Hoosier		2013-03-13 12:49:26 PM

St Patrick was a firm believer in avoiding the sins of the flesh - like drinking. That being said, Jesus of Nazareth was a firm believer in helping poor people and we don't listen to that either.

/German-Anglo blood, so I'm genetically predisposed to picking on the Irish

Behind every stereotype is at least a small nugget of truth

WhoopAssWayne		2013-03-13 12:51:42 PM

Yeah, but the best part of St Patrick's Day is watching all the die hard atheist posers lining up to celebrate a religious holiday. It really shows how they stick to their principles.

Crewmannumber6		2013-03-13 12:51:43 PM

Free international calls from Irish cell phone providers on March 17, I'm going to be on the phone a LOT!

xsarien		2013-03-13 12:51:44 PM

St. Patrick's Day is the one day of the year - even if it's a weekend - that I refuse to go out and drink. Every bar worth its salt - and some that aren't - jack their prices up to Stupid, all the idiots are out drinking themselves into hospitals, and the streets are flowing with green-tinged puke thanks to some bars serving green beer.

Tell me how this is considered a good time.

Author sounds like he's trying to be snobby about being more hard-core-Irish than everyone, also lame and boring.

Don't mind St. Patrick's Day so much but I will NEVER drink a green beer. NEVER

Jake Havechek		2013-03-13 12:53:28 PM

Then, you take a perfectly good piece of meat, boil it with cabbage until the house smells like dirty laundry, eat it, and give yourself tomorrow's diarrhea.

DjangoStonereaver		2013-03-13 12:53:39 PM

Have Irish/American's bastardized a religious feast day commemorating the patron saint of Ireland?

Of course.

Still, some of those bastardizations are at least palatable:

media.al.com

FWIW: My mom was born in Ireland, and while St. Patrick's Day has a certain sentimental importance, it
isn't anywhere near the commercialized behemoth it is here in America.

That said: if I forget to call or visit her on March 17th, I hear about it for months.

thecpt		2013-03-13 12:54:04 PM

americans found another excuse to drink. we're really good at that.

shoegaze99		2013-03-13 12:54:06 PM

Guh. I don't much care for St. Patrick's Day, and even I thought that list was a whiny bunch of tripe.

Are you perhaps inferring a lack of intelligence in the Irish?
