Things I Hate About Valentine’s Day
February 14th, 2008 by Dan
- The proto-goths that feel the need to wear all black and mope. If you’re not going to make it your full-time lifestyle, don’t do it at all. (Disclaimer: I’m not goth. Nor emo. I just think that if you’re going to adopt a lifestyle, you damn well better be thorough.)
- All the “ZOMG IF YOU DONT BUY DIMUNDS YR GF WONT LUV U” ads. Didn’t we just get this same spiel at Christmas? I suppose there’s some solace in that I don’t have Lexus trumpeting a “make it a Valentine’s Day to remember” line of bullshit.
- Also, Zales? The stupid sperm-looking diamond pendant? So generically ugly, I’d expect to see it at Wal-Mart. Really.
- That people have gotten to the point where they think that V-Day is the only real time to have to express their emotions to their significant other. For fuck’s sake…if you love him/her, do stuff outside of holidays/birthdays. I guarantee that your relationship will be much better for it.

Okay, yeah. Those S-shaped things? I had to explicitly tell my husband that not only did I not want any crap for V-day (including diamonds, cards, etc.), but that no woman actually likes those necklaces–it’s a manufactured, created need. I think it’s criminal that Zales is convincing men that women want these.
I also really hate those sperm-shaped pendants. I hate Valentine’s Day in general. It’s a way too commercialized event that puts way too much pressure on the hitched to be all romantic and on the unhitched to make themselves so.
