National Unfriend Day

National Unfriend Day, We do not know if Jimmy Kimmel chose the calendar date of November 17th a specific reason when he decided to launch its Facebook cleaning initiative “National Day Unfriend (NUD).” In case you have not heard (or seen), the most brilliant of all the TV talk show hosts nightly social networks want to do a little house cleaning next Wednesday and relieve themselves in-FB- name’s “friends”.

This made us think, if successful, how will rank Kimmel 11/17 initiative in terms of technology, coldness date. Here are the quick responses we got:

– On this date in 1511, Spain and England allied against France. It is quite hostile.

– In 1863, Confederate forces began the siege of Knoxville, Tennessee. Anything but Southern hospitality style there.

– And in 1947, surprisingly, the Screen Actors Guild established an anti-Communist oath.

But if Kimmel Network Anti-social really takes flight, then it may well earn a place on one of the highest pedestals hostile Nov. 17. The day in 1973 when President Richard Nixon told 400 Associated Press Editors, “I am not a crook!” Because in the end, who really lost several friends that Tricky Dick?
