A cool $17 BILLION. Cupid must be a capitalist.
Despite the sluggish U.S. economy, this year lovebirds still plan to shell out an average of $123 each on Valentine's Day, up from $120 last year and eclipsing the $101 of 2006. Total outlay for the U.S.: $17 billion, estimates the National Retail Federation's 2008 Valentine's Day Consumer Intentions and Actions Survey, conducted by market research company BIGresearch.

Power puff girls are cool and all but the problems around the world could be stopped if WOMEN start thinking reality. Diamond and roses is a good documentary done by Current tv. I saw it yesturday for valentines and it was great.
Women are powerful but evil women are the devil. Women have to wake up to the world.
I bought stuff cuz it was expected but then it was to make my wife feel good. -
I try not to buy things I can't easily return... When my girlfriend tells me I'm just being cheap, I tell her I'm not buy that either.
