This is going to put a serious crimp in my best karaoke performance.
Y.M.C.A. Is Downsizing to a Single Letter
One of the nation’s most iconic nonprofit organizations, founded 166 years ago in England as the Young Men’s Christian Association, is undergoing a major rebranding, adopting as its name the nickname everyone has used for generations.
“It’s a way of being warmer, more genuine, more welcoming, when you call yourself what everyone else calls you,” said Kate Coleman, the organization’s senior vice president and chief marketing officer.

Wow I see layoffs coming for the Village people. I guess no sectors of the economy are left out.
This makes me sad. Watch… PB&J’s will be next…. and we’ll be having P for lunch.

Hmmm. That depends on what everyone else calls you…

I’m calling bullshit! Those YMCA workers are just too damned lazy to write out YMCA! What is this world coming too? I need to go back to bed.

I’m thinking of legally changing my name to “Mom”, it’s what most people call me – at least it feels that way. I am feeling warmer already.

If you’re finally going to give up YMCA at karaoke, will you join me on stage for The Theme from Shaft?

I am so confused. I just am not even sure where I live anymore. Why oh Why does it matter. That is like taking the fries out of your happy meal. Oh, wait a minute I guess they already have done that too. Bummer.

“The” Y or just “Y?” Forget it, still just ain’t right.
WHAT ARE THEY THINKING???
Although I must say, i’ve never done YMCA at karaoke, i will be disappointed at this because I worked for a YMCA and had many fun summers there. We must revolt!
