The Valentine Antidote
Valentine’s Day has changed a lot through the centuries. For one thing, it isn’t just sweethearts who exchange cards and gifts anymore. Since the first Valentine cards were produced commercially in the US in the 1800’s the industry has expanded to the point where there’s a Valentine for nearly everyone in your life, from your Grandma to your paper boy.

And for those who are fed up with the commercialism or just simply cannot stand another dose of hearts and flowers, there’s the anti-valentine.
The free anti-valentine messages are a sure antidote to the forced emotional nature of the holiday.
My favorite card says: Happy unimaginative, consumerist-oriented and entirely arbitrary, manipulative and shallow interpretation of romance day.
