Watching tv last night, I was amused by the ads where suggested gifts are being touted for the impending feast of commercialisation known fondly to card manufactures, confectioners and florists everywhere as MoneyMakers Valentines Day. Obviously these are all directed at guys, because it seems that the ad makers think guys need prompting to actually purchase something culturally acceptable rather than buying something spontaneous that the woman in their life might actually like.

My personal favourite so far: ads for the 2-cd greatest hits of Mariah Carey (which seems to consist of corny cover versions, as far as I can tell)! Yes, this will do wonders for your relationship, I'm sure... ;)
