Here at thebeargetsit.com, we know that when you read vapid poems in Valentine’s Day cards that it makes you do a little sick burp. Couple that with the smorgasbord of corny romantic comedies and lacklustre love songs and you’re left reeling in the knowledge the Valentine’s Day has become an event exclusively for couples; A sickly-sweet saccharine struggle that not only feeds on the wallets of the betrothed, but also serves to dishearten the singleton.
We remember a simpler time. A time when being single on Valentine’s Day meant a hush of excitement as the postman arrived, or a nervous tick whilst hovering over the internal mailbox at work, wondering whether or not the hottie you’ve been perving at for the last six months will know who sent that card with the rude poem. There was a time when Valentine’s Day was better for singletons..
Historically, Valentine's Day was a Pagan feast day called Lupercalia; a festival aimed at getting singles involved in a celebration of romance. Tradition has it that come February 14th, single men blind picked single women’s names from a jar. They would then accompany each other to town celebrations for the rest of the year. The aim was to introduce single people to the similarly unattached.
Single people everywhere are making a stand.
Our demands are simple:
GIVE VALENTINE’S DAY BACK TO SINGLE PEOPLE, OR THE BEAR GETS IT.
