I’ve got this forum I go to. It’s kind of like 4chan, but it’s for people that make money, as opposed to being unemployed lamers whining about Scientology. There’s this guy on there that I particularly like, Chris, who just has a thing about holidays and hating them. He posted this rather insane diatribe on why Valentine’s day sucks… and in retrospect, I think I kind of agree with him.

The crux of his rant:

“Ok, guys we all know what’s coming up…Valentines Day! Don’t disappoint her like you did last year. Make her eyes light up with the package gift of jewelry and roses from blah blah blah. …Because you know that if she’s happy, then everyone stays happy!”

How. Fucking. Insulting.

But that stupid commercial perfectly illustrates everything wrong with Valentines day. It’s a holiday that’s constructed to make a few people rich and everyone else feel pressured, unsatisfied and inadequate.

So yeah, why the fuck do you have to wait till 7 weeks after Christmas to tell someone how special they are? After you supposedly already told them on Christmas with a reindeer that shits brown jelly beans?

You know what, if someone’s special enough for you to waste money on pointlessness for them, as opposed to actually doing something meaningful, why don’t you just ask them out to dinner one night, lay on the flowers and fine wine, and when they ask what’s so special, you just tell them that they are. Why do you have to wait for the day when sparkling wine and roses geta 250% markup to do it? More wasted money = more love?

If you believe that, you’re a fucking moron.
