Valentine’s Day is a Fraud



Cupid is Dead

Cupid is Dead

Happy Valentine’s Day! Congratulations to everyone who participates or celebrates this holiday, you have allowed yourself to be duped and taken advantage of yet again. Now before you start hurling flaming arrows at me, take a moment to think about what this holiday represent and what we all are actually celebrating. Valentine’s day was originally a pagan festival that was renamed after two Early Christian martyrs named Valentine and was eventually associated with romantic love during the middle ages when chivalry and courtly love first began to flourish. This day started out a basic pagan celebration of God knows what and was morphed into what we have today by a combination of the extremely corrupt Catholic church, pussy whipped knights, and Hallmark. Of course Hallmark, who do you think benefits most from this modern holiday?

This day is simply an excuse for retailers to guilt you into spending more of your hard earned money on cheap flowers and candy along with some stupid card or whatever else they can convince you to buy so that your significant other will know that you love them.  Here is an idea, how about you tell them you love them and boycott this lame tradition.  In this economy, spending money on pointless garbage for no apparent reason is not what I would call an intelligent decision.  Don’t believe the hype!  You do not have to spend 3 months salary on a diamond ring when getting engaged and you DO NOT have to purchase some stupid heart balloon and candy or flowers just because the Catholic church wanted to steal another pagan holiday to make religious conversion easier for the masses.

Not only is this so called ‘holiday’ a fraud for those who have found another to share their life with, but what about those who are alone?  What a great way to make millions of people feel like shit for an entire day because they have no one.  Let’s all dance around and revel in the fact that we have found love and try to shove it in the faces of those who do not as much as humanly possible.  The really sad thing is that this holiday is basically legal extortion.  The retailers know that they have you by the balls during this time so they mark everything pink (or anything remotely associated to this lame day) up by 150% or more.  On any regular, non-extortion day, you can pick up a dozen roses for $15-$20.  Oh but as soon as February hits, these same $20 roses are now selling for over $100!  Flowers are one of those perishable items that retailers know you can not buy in advance to save on the, what should be, illegal price gouging so they are as flippant about their gouging as I have seen just about anyone be.

Love is Complicated Enough Already

Love is Complicated Enough Already

Luckily, my wife agrees with me and understands herself that this holiday is made for suckers and retailers.  Her and I have never celebrated Valentine’s day in the way that hallmark and the flower and candy shops think we should and we have still managed to survive for almost ten years.  We do take the opportunity to enjoy each other more than we may on any other day but we refuse to play into the wasteful spending trap that is this day.  My wife and I already have a day to celebrate our love and commemorate our relationship, it is called our anniversary.  Why would we need a second day?  Valentine’s day is nothing more than a duplicate holiday with no real roots itself and really no leg to stand on once you start analyzing the origin of the day.

Men, keep your wallets in your pockets this day and ladies, get your heads out of your asses and wake up!  Guys, if your lady expects you to fall prey to this fraudulent practice, then you should dump the bitch immediately.  Do it today, it will make a huge statement and will help you regain your testicles and sanity.  Trust me, you do not want to be with a woman who supports this fabricated holiday because she will be the same kind of woman who expects a $50,000 dollar engagement ring and will have absolutely no problem calling you cheap to her friends if you do not (or can not afford) to get it for her.  These bitches never stop.  They have mistakenly been convinced that they actually deserve these things for doing absolutely nothing more than MAYBE opening her legs for you from time-to-time, but only under her conditions.  Sound a lot like prostitution to me.  It is funny, if I sell drugs as a single man, I am called a criminal and arrested.  If I sell drugs as a married man, same thing.  If a woman sells her pussy when she is single - it is called prostitution but when she does it as a married woman - it is called normal and actually encouraged behavior.

P.S. Yes I know EVERYONE blogs about V-day on V-day and I am yet another one of those lame ass idiots but it is my mission to help the men of the world take back what is rightfully theirs, their nuts!
