Thousands of you have signed our petition calling for the release of Valentine's Day from the tightening grip of schmaltz. We have successfully identified the soppiest song and most sentimental film.</p> <p>And <strong>The Bear</strong>? Well it's time to let him go.</p> <p>In the small hours of last night, we loosened the shackles and left a door open for our brave survivor. We hear he is making good time across the countryside.</p> <p>Once The Bear is settled, we intend to reward him for his suffering, with a gift of your choosing. Please see the poll below for details.</p> <p>That said, <strong>our mission continues</strong>. There may come a time in the near future when the plight of single people comes into question again, and at that time we will call upon the bear for his services once more.</p> <p><em>thebeargetsit.com, on behalf of single people everywhere.</em></p>http://www.thebeargetsit.com/cemetery/the_bear_is_released.htmlthe_bear_is_releasedMon, 16 Feb 2009 11:00:00 GMTcemetery@thebeargetsit.com (Nick)<p>&quot;I got a toilet brush holder for Valentine's Day.</p> <p>Really?&nbsp;&nbsp;Couldn't I have gotten some of the schmaltz instead?&quot;<br /> <br /> <strong>Heather from Philadelphia</strong></p>http://www.thebeargetsit.com/cemetery/story_time_part_iv.htmlstory_time_part_ivSun, 15 Feb 2009 17:00:00 GMTcemetery@thebeargetsit.com (Nathan)<p><strong>Vikki from Camberley</strong> might just have hit the nail on the head here...&nbsp;</p> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/wOZScNBbJgM&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wOZScNBbJgM&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>http://www.thebeargetsit.com/cemetery/for_all_the_lovers.htmlfor_all_the_loversSun, 15 Feb 2009 16:00:00 GMTcemetery@thebeargetsit.com (Amanda)
