It's Valentine's Day, which means blog posts will be either dripping with the love juice like a firm, fleshy peach or condemning the crass commercialism of diamond commercials and absolutely moronic idea of one day of forced romanticism.
Even when I was in a relationship, I fell into the latter category. Every day should be Valentine's Day, I thought, letting your partner know that you're the luckiest person in the Universe. While I haven't totally changed my tune, I do finally get how sometimes life can get in the way and maybe a day to step back and remind ourselves why we're with someone isn't a terrible thing.
However, those Vermont Teddy Bears are. Seriously, these things - and their ads - creep me the eff out.
I'm pretty sure that that red doesn't occur in bear nature, meaning that they're probably breaking 823743 different stuffed animal cruelty laws. Just step away from the bears, guys. This bear - the "Horny Devil" - is $69.95. Plus shipping.
If you're looking for something to send, check out NBC's American Gladiator Valentines, Scientific Valentines, and the classic Law & Order: SVU Valentines.
In honor of my husband, I'll leave you with a little MST3K. Enjoy your day, even if it's only Thursday.
