Sunday is the most important religious holiday of the year

The religion: Shinto. The holiday: Giant Pink Japanese Penis Day.

Many of our Japanese readers have written in to tell me that the festival is only called Giant Pink Japanese Penis Day by those who are not Japanese. If you are Japanese, you simply call it Our Giant Pink Penis Day, Giant Pink Penis Day, or just Big Pink Dick Day if you're into that whole brevity thing.

Oh, yeah. I've heard that this Sunday is also an important day for Christians. I'll have to read up on that. Man, that must present quite a dilemma if your mother is Catholic and your father is Shinto. I suppose you can go to Mass in the morning, a Big Pink Dick Festival in the afternoon, and then confession at night.
