Not only do Hallmark have a TV spot every other commercial break on TV, other companies who have absolutely no right to do anything on Valentines Day get in on the Act. For the slightly insane, there are special Valentines Day Sales on at most Jewelers, and for the completely insane, what better way to express your love than to buy the love of your life a Mercedes, or a BMW, or a Lexus. They can all help you with their special Valentines Day Deals. So, I hear you ask, what is the lovely Mrs. Adams ( mine , not yours ) going to get as a token of my love this year. A card perhaps, maybe some flowers... possibly. No..... this year Mrs Adams will be getting partial deafness when we go to see Van Halen in Orlando. See.... romance isn't dead. And if she plays her cards right, I might even get her a tour T shirt. Carl is right, you have never seen anything marketed to death until you have seen it done in the good old US of A.

It's all about Hallmark. In the US, this whole day is crazy, people send work colleagues cards, kids send other kids cards, it has nothing to do with Love. It’s all about Hallmark.
