Hyperbole Awareness Month

Irrelevant Magazine Celebrates “Hyperbole Awareness Month”
Hyperbole (hy·per·bo·le): extravagant exaggeration (as "mile-high ice-cream cones")


Every hour…
Someone says something funny that is misunderstood.

Every day…
At least 25 people will be thought of negatively for using clever hyperbole.

Every week…
A cross is burned.

The 20th Century saw major progress in outlawing discrimination against hyperbolists (users of hyperbole), and most Americans today support integrated schools and neighborhoods. But misunderstandings and stereotypes persist, an atmosphere often exploited by hyperbolic hate groups. Spread on the Internet and accessible by personal computers, hyperbole clearly knows no geographic bounds…yet it is not always appreciated.

Clearly, there is a cancer spreading across the land, an aching, divisive cancer that is claiming the thought-lives of literally millions of people everyday. That cancer has a name: Hyperbolic Indifference.

This year, Irrelevant Magazine is reaching out to men and women with several key messages, most notably, the importance of early detection of hyperbole through human reasoning and the physical appreciation of the hyperbolic reference through laughter and smiling. Hyperbolic Readings are a person's best chance for detecting hyperbole early. When coupled with new treatment options, Hyperbolic Readings can significantly improve a person's chances of survival and enjoyment.

Come, celebrate hyperbole with us and help make the world safe for the usage and appreciation of hyperbole and extravagant exaggerations.
