Special Person's Day
In 2017 Australian academic Dr Red Ruby Scarlet proposed replacing father's day with Special person's day. Scarlet's proposal was met with widespread mockery among the Australian population. Major Australian supermarket Woolworths did however briefly produce cakes for Special person's day.[1][2]
In Popular Culture
A meme circulated widely online displays a clip from the Star Wars movie The Empire Strikes Back with Darth Vader saying "No, I am your special person" to Luke Skywalker. This is a parody of the widely known plot point that Darth Vader is in fact the father of Luke Skywalker.[3]
