I've always been anti-valentine's day, I've even been in the papers for my views on this.

It seems trendy in the last 1-2 years to go against Valentine's day, it seems anti-commercialism is finally hitting the mainstream.

What's the point really? Overpriced flowers? Overpriced dinners?

As I mentioned before, I learnt a very good lesson about 20 years ago from my lovely mother, I bought her some tulips on mother's day as is customary.

She scolded me upside down..

The gist of her message was why...why did you buy these flowers today when they are triple the normal price? What does today mean? Why do you need to buy these flowers today? Can you not show your appreciation to me on any day? Or every day? Because the flowers are triple price, that means on other days you could buy me flowers 3 times rather than 1, and they would be unexpected, so more appreciated.

She advised me if I wanted to do something, make her a card, or make something, that would show I really put some effort and not just dropped some money, which anyone can do. And it doesn't support the commercial bastards who are intent on emptying our pockets.

Basically she said the day is bullshit, and the same goes for Valentine's day, appreciate your partner every day.

Not just when the man wants you to so he can grab your money. Buy your girlfriend flowers whenever you see some nice ones, surprise her with a nice dinner. Celebrate your anniversary, because that is a meaningful day.

Don't celebrate Valentine's day, Father's Day, Mother's Day or whatever other spend-your-money Day they come up.

And to those singles who say Valentine's day makes you feel more single, you are a bunch of wet, spineless, no brained fuckers too.

Valentine's day has never made me feel anything, either way...because it's a meaningless day created to make money.

Don't support Valentine's day.

Be my Anti-Valentine.

You can see what I wrote about Valentine's day 2 years ago:

Happy Valentines Day..Or not..

And other people who agree:

my perfect valentine
364 days but not Valentine's Day
The Mathematics of Valentines

Team America follows an international police force dedicated to maintaining global stability. Learning that power hungry dictator Kim Jong Il (Parker) is out to destroy the world, the team recuits Broadway star Gary Johnston (Parker) to go undercover. With the help of Team America (Stone, Miller, Masasa, Parker, and Norris), Gary manages to slip into an arms dealer's hideout to uncover the plan to destroy the world. Will Team America be able to save the world?

Mannn, this is without doubt one of the funniest films I've ever seen, EVAR. It's made in a 'Thunderbirds' marionette puppet style.

It's also so quotable, some movies you can just quote endlessly, like Pulp Fiction for example is eminently quotable.

America - Fuck, yeah

So lick my butt And suck on my balls

YEAH!

It's just so me aswell, I feel like this about America, and their actions. They don't care about other countries, they are just there to blow shit up and act tough. They only go to countries where they can gain a tangible benefit and extract something. Or lend them a shitload of money and leech all their natural resources.

This movie is a perfect social commentary on that. Plus is demonstrates Americans ignorance, and well it's just generally hilarious in all ways.

Especially the puppets humping scene, and the part where the 'hero' is puking his guts out, classic man, seriously classic.

I was pleasantly suprised to see it ranking so high on IMDB aswell, as it's so totally outrageous and offensive, it scored a very good 7.3.

We all TOTALLY love Kim Jong Il.

I'm the smartest, most crever
Most physicarry fit
But nobody else seems to rearize it

It's quite possible the most politically incorrect thing I've EVAR seen, and that's why I love it. It's totally Trey Parker style, not giving a fuck what anyone thinks and just laying it down.

If you haven't seen this movie, I recommend you do so ASAP.

I give it a hilarious 9/10.

For those that have seen it, and love it, the Team America Script..
