You tell us it's corporate bullshit. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. But you put your point forward and let individuals decide.
Too much aggressive and forceful marketing of a viewpoint makes it lose its validity.
A day to celebrate human's love for each other isn't a bad thing. You don't need to buy into all the commercialness and shite, but millions love it just a simple fun sweet day.
Try putting that anger and venom into trying to save starving kids, or something worth fighting for. Causes need priorities, and I'm sorry, but worrying about Hallmark's profits isn't one of mine.
Remind me to send you a homemade card next year my friend ;-)
Best wishes, hope you have an amazing weekend :-)

Thanks for adding your comments and viewpoint, @nathen007 and you're spot on about allowing people to their right to call it as they see it!
Of course I do agree that a genuine celebration of love is a good thing...as is recognising that being loving, and appreciating what we all hold dear and love, every single day of the year is preferable to a commercially inflated 24 hour one hit wonder.
There is no venom, anger or aggression in that...none at all. I am actually rather surprised that is what you see when it's clear, from all the positive imagery and my words, that I am celebrating love in ALL of it's many forms. Here I am (and it feels a bit weird to do this) quoting myself...
"I am NOT against love, not a bit, it's one of the most powerful forces for good in this mad, crazy mixed up world....oh no, I am a MASSIVE fan of love."
And thanks for offering to send me a card next year...I will gladly return the favour!
Safe travels, my friend, and enjoy your return to Thailand 😎
