Yes. It's dire.

All those signs in shop windows in every high street up and down the land, exhorting consumers to buy everything from the traditional flowers, chocolates and lingerie to the one I saw today in my local sandwich bar - a fucking "Valentines' Special Sandwich"! (Incidentally, I hope it contains arsenic.)

You teenage couples can piss off. I'm absolutely sick to the back teeth, both in RL and SL, of having peoples' brief love affairs shoved in my face all day long, then being the one they all come crying to when it all inevitably fucks up. I've got no problem with couples per se - it'd be very sad if I did - but when the couples in question spend all their time snogging the face off each other in the street, it just starts to grate.

This festival is nothing but a way for cynical companies to commercialise yet another emotion. They can fuck off and stick their cards up their Hallmark.

I agree Charlotte.
It used to be a fairly innocuous holiday but now I hear stories on the radio of elaborate gifts people did for each other, or my friends do it for each other.
I don't mind giving a card, or a rose, (or chocolate YUM!) but to make it required of your signficant other is silly. I've always told mine to not do anything because I wasn't going to.

And another thing! I heard an advert on Kiss a minute ago! "The tube - a romantic way to travel!"

For crying out loud ...

I just wish I could be one of those couples, but when your man is 3700miles away, not much hope huh?

I think that commercialism has pretty much made most of our holidays lose their magic. One day my husband and I were driving on this back woods road and I saw a field of wild flowers and commented that I thought they were so beautiful. He immediately stopped the car (I though he had to "water" the roadside), but no, he just ran out and picked a handful and brought them back to me.

I'll take that any day to a box of chocolates or a dozen store bought roses. :)

I'm sorry, but mushiness like that really gets on my tits too. It's absolutely nauseating.

Would it help if I added some new sentiments to the vendor, such as 'fuck valentines'?

How can you lose a whole vendor? and not have it returned to me?

Your whiney little furry buddy stole it, didnt he? Because it fucked up his Feng Shui and was the wrong shade of brown. Pfft.

Well keep an eye out. We haven't exactly done a roaring trade in romance cards, so we're thinking of doing 'fuck you' cards, which would be infinitely more popular :p

Just to help spread the love, of course :)

Good Cards

... or a more literal approach to the F*** Y** cards would be a set of instructions on using pose balls :-)


btw here is my proposal for one card.


Roses are Red
You are a n00b
I'll get you banned
