    Florists don't promote Valentine's day, and anyone who thinks they do is a conspiracy theorist.

      The biggest florist chain in my country once payed 20,000 € to the host of our biggest tv show just to get him to mention on air that Valentine's Day was coming up the next week. No mention of the brand name, not even a "better get some flowers for your ole lady", just banking on the fact that enough guys would go and order flowers through their site when they were reminded of the date.

        Sick story.

        I despise all of the Hellworld calendar’s holidays so much.
