Quick: Only a Few Hours Left to Take Advantage of 'National Bum Smacking Day'

Someone was clearly attempting some sort of political statement by posting signs around Dublin, Ireland, "reminding" residents to celebrate "National Smack a Bum Day" on November 15th.

Except it seems the prank/protest backfired when photos of the signs were taken seriously, and posted on a few popular Twitter accounts without a hint of satire.
The Twitter hashtag #NationalBumSmackingDay soon began trending worldwide, though it's unclear if anyone actually went around smacking random strangers' behinds.
But, as one astute Twitter user pointed out, those who celebrate #NationalBumSmackingDay today will be celebrating #ImNotAtWorkBecause IGotDoneForSexualHarassmentDay tomorrow.
