Valentine's day. Halloween. You name the 'celebration', and I will show you a nice marketing scheme behind it. Latest BS trend after "Cyber Monday" is the "Travel Tuesday" one which I've heard for the first time in my life a few days ago. And then we will go to (something that starts with w....) "Water Wednesday" (everybody goes swimming), "Tattoos Thursday" (self explanatory), "Flip-board Friday" (we have meetings at home) and so on. Marketing works. Marketers/advertisers know how to trigger women (who make the vast majority of choices in purchasing). They fall for that shit all the time. Which guy wants to spend 1-2-3-10 salaries on a rock? Which guy wants to spend stupid amounts of money for decapitated/rotting heads of plants (aka flowers)? Flowers are beautiful, yes! Plant the thing, let it grow, see and smell it every day. Stupid vanity and stupid emptiness!! EDIT: what the hell is going on with Halloween in countries very unrelated to the custom??
