Fans celebrate 11/11/11 as Nigel Tufnel Day
November 11th, 2011 - 10:25 pm ICT by Aishwarya BhattNew York, Nov 11 (THAINDIAN NEWS) A group of Facebook fans were fighting that the day 11/11/11 should be declared Nigel Tufnel Day. The group started their campaign at the beginning of the year and on Friday the group’s message started getting louder as more fans signed to the Facebook group.
Of course when this day passes, the organization will have to wait for another 100 years to have another 11/11/11. Tufnel was beloved in the 1980s because his amp ran up to 11 in “This is Spinal Tap.” It created a cult in the 1980s and they have not forgotten so much about it since then.
The group was pushing that 11/11/11 should be officially recognized in the United States as Nigel Tufnel Day. The campaign failed to get the politicians to act despite the fact that about 20,000 people signed the petition.
With the US government failing to do it, LA Weekly took up the mandate to do just that. The website wrote that “…by the power invested in us by that big-bottomed spirit in the sky, we at West Coast Sound hereby declare this Friday, November 11, 2011, 11/11/11, to be Nigel Tufnel day.”
The group has another hundred years to convince US officials to declare the day Nigel Tufnel Day!
