Hunk Friday: It's the most wonderful time of the year!

A joyous Bateman Day to ye!

Now, while it's true that Barack Obama was elected president this week, in my mind, there is no bigger event to celebrate right now than our country's Fifth Annual Unofficial Jason Bateman Day.

I originally created Annual Unofficial Jason Bateman Day all the way back in 2004. Arrested Development, known now as one of the best television shows ever, was in its full glory, and 80s heartthrob Jason Bateman had become extremely topical. On that particular day, not only was I watching AD, but while channel surfing during commercials, The Sweetest Thing with Cameron Diaz was also on, a comedy in which Bateman plays the brother of the male lead. Jason Bateman had officially taken over the air waves--and our hearts.

Though die-hard supporters remember him from such cultural milestones as The Hogan Family and Teen Wolf Too, when it comes to loving Jason, there is certainly enough room in here for devotees and bandwagon-jumpers alike. On November 7, 2004, this became my mission and I became dedicated to spreading the Joy of Jason through any means necessary. I have worked tirelessly for this cause: nights, weekends, holidays--all spent designing posters, distributing leaflets, raising funds for cable access informational programs, vandalizing buildings--all for the love and support of Jason and for the good of the American people.

This November 7th is no different. I am just as committed today as I was that fateful day back in '04, and so it is your turn, gentle readers, to feel the warm glow of a Jason Bateman Day well spent. Take a moment today to rent Juno. Bring out your old taped VHS copy of the Menudo Madness episode of Silver Spoons. Do a YouTube search or a Google Image search (or see below for the provided pictures, many courtesy of Jason Bateman Online).

And above all, be good to one another.
