I'd like to propose the following:
That 16 June* of each year be National Palumboism Awareness Day.
"National Palumboism Awareness Day has been and always will be a grassroots effort, shaped around the needs of those communities that work hard of every year to make it a success. Each year, almost 5 bodybuilders in the U.S. test positive (unofficially) for Palumboism. That is an alarming amount considering that that is 25 bodybuilders over the last five years. That's 25 bodybuilders that are now living with Palumboism and may suffer from Palumboism-related complications.
Palumboism awareness comprises four specific focal points: education, testing, involvement, and treatment. Educationally, the focus is to get bodybuilders educated about the basics of Palumboism. Testing is at the core of this initiative, as it is hoped that bodybuilders will mark 16 June of every year as their annual or biannual day to get tested for Palumboism. This is vital for those who taking boatloads of HGH and Insulin. When it comes to community and organization leadership, getting bodybuilders involved to serve is another key focus."
*The day in 2004 that Palumbo got busted for selling fake HGH to his fellow bodybuilders.
1. We could return each year to spread awareness and highlight recent cases of Palumbosim.
2. We could come up with our own symbol, like the breast cancer ribbon.
3. We could help spread awareness through online activism and maybe even sending pamplets to real bodybuilders.
4. I'm also thinking of setting up a little website for the "organization" that promotes National Palumboism Awareness Day, complete with all the info anyone could want, including the "What is Palumboism" post from a few years ago (one of the funniest things I've ever read on the internet).
