Should there be a "Steve Jobs Day" national holiday?

On the news, they are talking about making October 14 "Steve Jobs Day". In my opinion, this is starting to take things a bit too far. Giving him a national holiday and putting him on an equal platform with men like Christopher Columbus, Martin Luther King and George Washington is bordering on the ridiculous.

What about everything you see on the web?

Not gonna happen.

Maybe a day, but it wouldn't be a national holiday where you'd get off work/school.

No.

They will say anything to get you to watch or talk about them (news)

Obviously we all love Steve Jobs and are enthusiasts of his work. But we don't even have an Edison day.

If 911 is not a national holiday then SJ definitely wouldn't be. Maybe within Apple...

 

[specify]

No. Just...no.

 

[BamaATL]

Great sentimental thought. Bad idea.

 

[mikethebigo]

No.

Also, not an iPhone topic.

Christopher Columbus doesn't even really deserve a holiday. George Washington doesn't have his own, it's shared, and as amazing a man as he was, Martin Luther king did more for this country

So as much as I mourn his death and feel he was an amazing human being, I agree giving him a holiday is taking it too far. I don't think Steve would have wanted that anyway

He'll perhaps get a Google Doodle every year. But not a national holiday.

 

[bandofbrothers]

Time to get a grip !

Rolls eyes !!

 

[GoCubsGo]

Holiday? No. Perhaps a doodle as recommended above.

 

[Tones2]

If I get a paid day off, then yes! In fact, let's have a paid national holiday for every CEO in America and get every day off!

Um...

[bandofbrothers]

Possibly Apple themselves will put on some special events / offers on the anniversary of his passing ?

 

[Schweitzer]

Super ridiculous.

 

[Dangerous Theory]

HAHAHA. People seemed to have lost all touch with reality.

 

[Darthdingo]

If Einstein, Edison, Ford, do not have a national holiday, I doubt Jobs will get one.

 

[Zeonmx]

People who suggests this kind of retarded proposal is the reason why I wish stupidity was a crime.

Seriously, WTF?

 

[n8236]

F yeah, we should! I could use another paid day off!

 

[rockyroad55]

Nope, not going to happen.
