This is funny but perhaps a little strong. A better way to say it is: You don't have the power to uncreate the things you make, espcially if they are in the public domain. You can disclaim them -- which _why's creator has evidently done -- but you can't ask people to pretend they don't exist. Time doesn't work that way.
George effing Lucas may wish to pretend that the Star Wars Christmas Special never happened, and beg that the original prints of Star Wars -- the version that actually made all the money and the fans -- never be shown again, but we don't have to listen to him and we don't.
But George effing Lucas might take exception at you naming a day after him, it's his name after all.
This is not about naming a day for 'the poignant guide to ruby', it's about naming a day for the persona, and trying to leverage off the name of that persona, even after that persona (or rather the person behind it) has expressed his desire to be out of it in a way that left little to the imagination.
Any of this could be done just fine without attaching the '_why' moniker to it.
But that how would you refer to it? I'm not being snarky. If we're going to have a day recognizing how great it is that we invented these things that we could sit in, it's going to be hard not to use the word "chair."
