Boycotting Valentine’s Day
These were in response to a mass email I sent out yesterday requesting that no one purchase flowers, cards, chocolates, jewelry or anything pink or red or has hearts on it. And instead treat it as any other day in favour of being creative and or romantic on two other totally unrelated separate times in the year. I also requested that people gather in front of Hallmark and Jewelry stores to protest but no one seemed game for my protest.
Examples:
Subject: As corny as this is….
Happy Valentine’s Day.Subject: Check your junk mail
I sent you an e-card.Subject: Happy Non-Valentine’s Day
You crack me up.Subject: Boycott V-Day
Say no to roses.
Sigh… this day is really a sign of everything that is wrong with the world. There are lots of signs by the way however this one in particular shows our obsession with conformity. In the spirit of protest and boycott I am encouraging you to ignore the day that comes tomorrow in favor of another normal Thursday in February.
In the spirit of supporting my fellow bloggers, vloggers etc I shall send you to a fellow protester: Wasted Moment #45
