You might have heard the big news that YMCA would prefer to be called “The Y” from now on.

Y, you ask?

• Maybe they think they’re cool enough to join the ranks of Cher and Madonna and just go by their first name
• Maybe they’re sick of going to every single wedding since that song became a hit in the late 70′s
• Maybe they’re tired of dancing the YMCA at their annual Christmas party and just want to speed it up because they secretly prefer the Macarena
• Maybe they have something against the Village People (I just hope they didn’t quit their day jobs)
  
• Maybe they want Jay-Z or Rod Stewart’s song “Forever Young” to be their new theme song
• Y not?!

I wonder if the Y will be a trendsetter with their new branding? Maybe PETA will become “P”, IBM will become “I”, TCBY will become “T”, and YMCA will stick with “Y”…now that would be a PITY.

Now I really must hit the gym! Y? So I can find me a Macho Man in the Navy!
