We live in a golden age of activism.
Daily, tens of thousands of human citizens band together to defeat the most monstrous of all causes. From Megakota to dictionary modifications, view the best of humanity's innovation as told to you by weird petitions on Change.org.
1. Petition: "Demand Head & Shoulders Create a Body Wash Called Knees & Toes"
Courtesy of Change.org
Organizer: Brandon Craine
Supporters: 299
Cause: "This issue is pretty self-explanatory. The injustice of having only Head & Shoulders, but not Knees & Toes has gone unnoticed for too long, but I say no more.
After this revolutionary product hits the shelf, we also expect Eyes & Ears & Mouth & Nose face wash. This is a duty that Procter & Gamble, and our president, has to the American people.
Please, my fellow citizens, help me change the foundation on which our follicles grow and by which our skin is moisturized. With your help, we can end the injustice of the segregation of our lower body."
2. Petition: "Petition to Use the Word 'Yerp' In Place of the Word 'Phone,' Just Because We Can"

Organizer: Michael Gallo
Supporters: 91
Cause: "The people in support of this petition move that the use of the word 'yerp' should be dedicated to replacing the use of the word 'phone,' as it is a commonly used noun, and 'yerp' has been deemed an entertaining word to use according to a general consensus. #YesToYerp #YerpMovement #ILoveMyYerp"
3. Petition: "Change the Name of 'Fire Ants' to 'Spicy Boys'"
