According to www.nationaldayofslayer.org, the fourth International SLAYER day is going to come true. Read carefully the following lines:

LOS ANGELES, CA - June 2, 2010 ' This Sunday, June 06, Heavy Metal fans from around the world will unite to celebrate the fourth 'International Day Of SLAYER' (IDoS), and demand the official recognition of June 06 as a public holiday. Those who observe the holiday are encouraged to stage 'Slay-outs': "Listen to SLAYER at full blast in your car, in your home, at your place of employment, and in any public place you prefer." Headphones are considered an offense to the movement.

When this crusade first launched four years ago on 06/06/06, it was in response to the American 'National Day of Prayer', which is held on the first Thursday of May. Gaining momentum every year, the IDoS Board last year petitioned the White House for official recognition of the holiday, citing that "Heavy Metal music is the central belief of a culture that exists among us, and SLAYER is the perfect spokesperson."

During a recent interview with AOL's NoiseCreep, SLAYER's Kerry King said about the IDoS, "I think it's awesome, and it's totally cool that fans have taken the time to maintain it. SLAYER should have a national holiday - there are enough stupid holidays out there, so why not have one for us?"
