This is seriously the worst "holiday" ever, seriously. If you're with someone, you are perpetually bombarded with messages like "BUY CANDY OR DIAMONDS OR LUXURY CARS FOR YOUR SWEETHEART OR SHE'LL HATE YOU" messages. If you're single, you are constantly bombarded with implicit, unspoken "WOW YOU ARE SUCH A LOOOOOOSER!!!!1" messages. Or maybe that's just me being neurotic.

Anyways, if you think the commercialisation of love is a terrible idea and you feel the need to rant about it, here's the place.

I'm sick of these silly Valentine's Day gifts that seem oh-so-original, but aren't original at all. Also, candy hearts are flavorless, and are pointless unless they also give good effects. And I can't get this one off the candygram.

Boo_penguin have too many girlfriends, so In Valentine's Day I move to Groeland.
Before I go to bed I always scream "Everybody's doin' a brand new dance now and some girl appears and say  "Come on baby do the loco-motion".

I hate the commercialism crap myself. All I did was send my soul mate a rose this year, but I shouldn't matter what I do since we were already pretty close as friends. Actually, I remember reading in one of those ridiculous "Valentine's Day gift guides" that giving them one rose means you're a cheapskate. Better yet, does anyone even remember who St. Valentine is?

Valentine's day is a Wednesday right?

Dang, nothing good on TV that night.
As a game that requires six friends, an HDTV, and skill, I can see why the majority of TMK is going to hate on it hard.

But it's when Cartoon Network re-airs all the good ole' cartoons and their holiday specials!
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Yeah, but then what? They get locked away again waiting for the next holiday, never to be seen weekdays again, not even being released in DVD sets.

I think I'm going to spend that day spamming my friends' inboxes with Yuri and Lolicon. Then I'll await their responses.

You have a Wii.
At least in high school they don't make you give cards to everybody in class. The candy wasn't even good--does anybody REALLY like those flour-flavored hearts with the corny messages on 'em?
All your dreeeeeeams begiiin to shatterrrrrr~
It's YOUR problem!

Let's all get one thing straight.  They're NECCO wafer flavored.  And yes, it's the same company.  All you have to do is take your crappy flavor whatsit and mold it into heart shape.












NECCO!

I like the ones that actually have flavor, you know what I'm talking about.  Anyone remember my quote for the true meaning of Valentine's Day?  Something about the sale on candy the day after.

So...our school is having this "stoplight" day on Valentines' day where you wear an orange shirt if you're "taken," yellow if you're "friends", or green if you're single.  You can guess which color I'll be wearing.
I always figured "Time to tip the scales" was Wario's everyday motto.

Hey, greeting card companies are cashing in on the people who are single by producing "anti-Valentines" much like the contents of Luigison's post. It's terrible.
Remember that your first Goomba boldly you walk? When Mario touched that mushroom being brought up more largely remember that you are surprised? Miscalculate your jump that pit remember that it falls?

I still think it should be renamed to "Chocolate day" because let's be honest, that's the only reason a lot of us actually like the holiday.

Nah.  It's mostly the same old crap candy sold on any other day; just heart shaped and/or in red wrapping.
