You know what; V-Day is just an extra ordinary effort of a marketeer to get that long pending promotion! And boy, what a big time ploy…
If my wiki skills are to be blamed, ‘Valentine’ is derived from ‘Valens’ in Italian; which means Strong & Powerful - nowhere close to love, affection, sex [maybe], cupid, kuchikoo, puchikoo…whatever!
Further, ‘Valentine’ was a title given to Christian martyrs in freaking 496 AD. And I bet these Valentines were not Romeos dying in love.
Ironically, even wiki is scratching heads to trace out romantic cues in the original early medieval biographies of these martyrs…way to go company cupids…you’ve managed to strike the dumb in the bum!
Loving on Valentine’s. Well, around the world, love speaks one language. Durex sure cracked it right, coz on V-Day; the two things that really take rise are dicks & condom sales. So, congratulations my martyr friend, you’ve been sacrificed for a vital cause – Protected Sex!
Well I have a different cause & no sacrifice here. All this global gyan for just one thought…C’mon guyz! Celebrate whenever with no reason. Make love, don’t make up love…
Happy Wallet-time Day!
