Petitions are no longer used just for relevant issues that concern a certain group of people or concern the community as a whole. Now, petitions can be just about anything! This is because the internet makes it a lot easier for anyone to just create their own petition and ask for people to sign it and it does not even matter whether or not these petitions will actually be sent to the person or persons to whom it is addressed to. Chances are, these weird petitions won’t even reach those people who can actually act upon it.

These are just a few examples of the types of petitions circulating that are intended to be funny and do not have any relevance to the society’s concerns at all.

There are different petitions that asks for signatures so that their favorite TV show would still be on air for a few more seasons or petitions to bring back their favorite latte’ on their favorite coffee shop or petitions asking people to sign if they want their favorite singer to have a concert in their area.
