A San Francisco marketer named Michael Tchong, chose April 3 for the special day because it was Nasdaq's 349-point decline a year ago, according to a San Jose Mercury News article. He said any activity was welcome. It seems, however, like a cry for help.
Common sense says that if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
That didn't, however, stop some American and foreign Internet companies from jumping on the bandwagon. It asked that people send at least 10 of those silly cards to family and friends. Cesar Chavez first used the raised fist as a symbol for his 1960s protest movements against unfair wages for farm workers. I'm sure Tchong tweaked the symbol a little, changed the colors or something, but the symbol is definitely not original. I didn't realize it was such a huge problem.
