I gotta tell you folks - I hate Valentines Day. Really - I do.
It all started in high school. They used to sell carnations to send to that certain someone.
White = I'm interested
Pink = I like you
Red = I love you
Simple, right? Do you see, anywhere on that list, black? Do you? No, I didn't think so. BUT...each and every year, on Valentines Day (or the day it was celebrated) a black carnation would be delivered - via "the system" to yours truly. Every flippin' year. To this day no one has 'fessed up.
WTF?!?! Talk about a scaring effect......geez!!
Dispite that I am a diehard romantic. I just can't help it....however - I Still Hate Valentines Day. Oh, not the day itself (anymore), it's all those commercials!!
I hate the hype. The pressure. Your life will not end if you don't get anything. If you are the one doing the shopping - Stay Away from Kitchen Appliances and you'll be fine.
There is one commercial that just makes my head explode. "He Went to Jared" - you know that jewlery commercial, where a woman is presented with a piece of jewlery and all anyone can talk about is that HE went to Jared. It's used to shame others that they didn't.....it's just, well, aggrivating, snobbish, childish...you get the idea.
And it's not just me!! I found this forum where people discuss ads that they either like or not. (These are down a bit on the page, so I'll pull them out here.....)
