11/11/11, Dang it!

About a month ago, I was chatting with my friends around our kitchen table when we noticed that our TV kept advertising things that were going to be released on 11/11/11, as if the date had some sort of mystical power that would magically make people do stuff.  The ad would talk about the product and stuff, and then in BIG BOLD numbers show the release date.  Sometimes, as is the case with all those ads for "The Immortals," the date is more important than the movie.

Don't believe me?  See for yourself:

"On 11/11/11 . . ."

". . . A film so violent. . ."

". . . that we can only show it to you. . ."

"In very."

"short."

"clips."

"IMMORTALS"

"premiering on 11 MOTHER 11 FREAKING 11."

Also; 11/11/11 also saw the release of Skyrim, Harry Potter 7.2 on DVD,  the Droid Razr, Lego Harry Potter, and 11-11-11--the movie (seriously, look it up).

Anyway, it was during this time that I had this thought:  if you were to make a wish at 11:11 on 11/11/11, it would be the most amazing thing ever and it would almost certainly come true.
