Valentine’s Day Should Be Banned

February 6, 2007 by Michele Neylon 6 Comments

Over the last few days I’ve been getting more and more emails offering me products for Valentine’s day.
While I’m sure that there are plenty of people who love all the hype around the “event” I’ve always disliked it.
When I was a teenager I remember all the excitement for both girls and boys to see who would get “Valentines” and how big and expensive they’d be.
It hasn’t changed much.
Why should people be forced into spending silly amounts of money on cards etc., for one day of the year? Surely if you love someone you don’t need a “special day”
Ban it I say !

    Bah! You old fart. Valentines day is a fun, wonderful day. I don’t get out the plastic and I don’t subscribe to the hype but I do enjoy the day.
    You can enjoy it to, it isn’t illegal. 🙂

    “any organisation with a vested interest which prescribes how and when to show your feelings”
    LMAO
    Either they don’t know what the word prescribe means or they are so weak that a company, using just advertising, is able to command them to splurge on VD.
    Come on. Grow a back bone, make the day whatever you want it to be.
