10. My local Safeway store looks like someone threw up Pepto-Bismol all over.Pink balloons, Pink Roses, Pink Ribbons – you get the idea !
9. Too much candy and chocolate – like romance, the sugar high lasts for a short while the inevitable crash lasts much longer.
8. Useless gifts – how deluded do you need to be to think that a 4-foot teddy bear holding a red velvet heart is a good gift ?
7.Bouqets that cost $ 79.99! – for that much money I expect an entire rose garden and a muscular gardener – not a bunch of roses in a glass bowl that has 400% markup
6. Dumb costumes ( WARNING: NSFW link)
5. Valentine’s Day viruses - as if we don’t have enough to worry about computer security
4. The insane pressure to buy, buy, buy. One has barely recovered from the holiday season consumerism before V-Day urging to spend, spend, spend begins!
3.The pressure on singles – being single is great – do not let the sappy advertisments fool you. Be happily single or happily hitched – be happy!
2. The Shiv Sena and their insane antics that get unecessary publicity
1.Hallmark cards – not only do they cost upward of $ 7.99 for execrable sentiment such as” Some things are just meant to be… Like you being born… Me finding you…The two of us happy in this crazy, amazing love…” -this is the evil corporation that was responsible for the exploding popularity of this holiday in the first place !
Aw, what the hell – I am old and cynical – don’t listen to me !
Happy Valentine’s day to all our UD readers !
