World / International XXXXX day : Multiple choices ? How about world corruption day ?

For those of you who've missed it. Today ie. Nov 19 is World TOILET day as also International Mens Day !!!
I wonder if it is just a coincidence that both these are on the same day ? Maybe it was carefully chosen - just to enable a discussion point for all the conspiracy theorists ?

On a more thoughtful note... I wonder is there is method to this process or more importantly, given the web / social access in today's world, we can come up with a voting mechanism that'll allow us to choose / publicize and adopt these "world / international" days.

Also, I think, it is time we started to create a set of days where we follow the IgNoble principle

As an example, we should have a WORLD CORRUPTION DAY (esp. in the current Indian context) where we publicly recognize and AWARD those who've EXCELLED in the area of Corruption ?

I'm sure there will be a series of nominations and a voting process where we'll discover some real gems ?

Maybe this model of recognizing individuals will provide the necessary social impetus for individuals to squirm and detest ?
