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.

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

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.

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...:rolleyes:

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

Seriously, WTF?
