“Seeing red: a survey has revealed 58% of Arabs believe that Valentines is meant only for the Western world.” i wonder why the survey didn’t take account of those “Arabs” who are “critical” and don’t celebrate V day because they believe it’s all about commercializing love. ha! as if they don’t exist!
“Eight million Americans send gifts to themselves on Valentines day.” Love Thyself…
