Oh I hate 14 Feb

If only because it’s third (only to birthdays and Christmas) for fake sentimental emails from companies and shops trying to get you to buy lovey-dovey goods and pretending to be your friend by wishing you a happy Valentines Day.
I mean… the whole point of it is that it’s meant to be a heartfelt thing between you and the person that you love. Not an e-shop that you once put your email address down for. Grrrr.
For more anti-Valentine rants, check out the brilliant Charlie Brooker, the anti-Valentine cards or previous semi-rants about Valentines Day.
And I’ll leave you with this entirely unrelated comic that came from the superlative Secret Asian Man:

I agree about the commercialization of Valentine’s day. I do like the chocolate and extras cuddles from Dave, though.
And Secret Asian Man rocks!
