Valentines ecard: 'St Valentines Day can be one of only two things: rich fat-cat industrialists with warehouses full of Valentines Day stuff to fob off onto unsuspecting poor folk, or two: love. Can you decide which because I can't think about it without twitching.'

About This Card

I’d protest this holiday. And on the burning barricades I’d chant at police and hurl Molotovs. And then? I’d fall beneath the bejeweled jackboots of St. Valentines Day thugs, wielding their guilt trips and demanding their chocolate boxes and heart-shaped cards. So if anyone needs me I’ll be at the florists. Muttering to myself.

Apparently we are—each of us—to be squeezed, algorithmically, by corporations until the only people who can afford crumpets are the board directors of international grocery conglomerates. Big Crumpet, I'll call it.
