Over here, every other commercial seems to be for a jeweler, because apparently *everyone* needs to prove their love with a diamond. The worst one (imo) starts with a little girl and someone who's probably supposed to be college age but looks in her mid-30s making cards or something. The little girl says "I know a secret" and the supposedly-teenage-woman says "I do too!" and practically goes into an orgasm at the thought that her boyfriend (who is supposed to be the little girl's big brother, I think. Unless she calls her father by his first name) loves her. Then he saunters over to the table with a diamond necklace, the little girl smirks knowingly as the woman rapturizes and we get the "Every kiss begins with K" jingle, which is true but has nothing to do with diamonds. (Except that the company in question is Kay Jewelers)
And at work, I'll have to deal with an excess of hyperactive kids with sugar-shock and the mopy aftermath of kids not getting valentines from the people they wanted to.
All because card companies, jewelers and florists want that extra buck.
