Well... um... Chaucer wrote about people celebrating lurve on the 14th February - that was over 600 years ago. The earliest surviving Valentines message is one written by the Duc d'Orleans in 1415, when the English locked him up and he was missing his wife. There's nothing consumerist about that, is there? If people nowadays can't think of a better way to celebrate the 14th February than buying a mass-produced card and ordering roses, who is unimaginitive? Not the day. The morons who don't know what romance is.
