Sweetest Day

So, what is this?
I was just talking to a friend and he informed me that Halmark invented a holiday called Sweetest Day; apparantly it's Valentines Day in October.

I for one have never heard of this day, and it just goes to show that companies will do anything to make a profit, including making up fake holidays. So, what's everybody else's thought on this, or do people even know about this day?

I knew about it, just didnt know the exact day. But i heard of it. Im my opinion valentines is stupid, i personally think its stupid that everyone that fights makes up just for one day to show each other they "love" each other, i myself try to spend everyday i can with my girlfriend and make it our own valentines everday.

Hallmark and Hershey's presents; SWEETEST DAY: with a VENGENCE.

I have heard this holiday spoofed on The Simpsons as "Love Day". To me, the only holidays that matter are ones that I could get school days off.

That's stupid. Hallmark is just trying to make more of a profit. You know people will buy cards for it. They could say "today is buy a card day" and people would buy cards.

^ My mom runs a Hallmark store, and your exactly right. People, especially Hallmark shoppers, are way to stupid and gullible.

This supposed day makes me want to kill people.

Happy Sweetest Day, here's an explosion!
