If you are sick of this holiday, a Valentine's Day Parody is what you need.
Sometimes it feels like the world is set out to make us feel inadequate. People hold opinions about what you should look like, when you should be dating, married or even when you should have kids. Valentine's Day is one of these days.
“Happy Valentine's Day! And if this is news to you, my guess is you're probably alone. Valentine's Day is often times a, well, it's a manufactured day that really doesn't mean anything." -Jon Stewart

The Truth Behind Valentine’s Day
Knowing the story behind Valentine’s Day will remove all the jealously over others receiving flowers, chocolates, and special dinners.
The Romans celebrated love and fertility from February 13-15. Men sacrificed goats and dogs and beat women with their hides. These Roman Romeos were naked and drunk too.
Women were chosen through a lottery system. When a number matched a man and woman, they had sex throughout the event. If a compatibility match was made, it extended beyond the festival.
You can only imagine many babies were conceived during that time.
How the name Valentine became associated
Emperor Claudius II executed two men on February 14 of different years in the 3rd century A.D. Both of their names? Valentine. Because of this, the Catholic Church honored their martyrdom.
Shakespeare and Chaucer took history and spun it into a more romantic time. V day became a popular and romantic day in Europe. Paper cards were part of the celebration.
When the tradition came to the New World, Hallmark mass-produced cards. This relieved everyone of the burden of having to hand make cards. Valentine’s Day has become a $20 million event.
Maybe Single’s Awareness Day is looking better.
