Happy Valentine's Day!



As you celebrate this most fake of all Hallmark holidays please remember the following:

  • 41% of marriages end in divorce
  • Over 65 million Americans have an STD
  • The chemicals used to keep cut flowers fresh have caused everything from respiratory distress to higher rates of miscarriage in the (non-unionized) underpaid workers employed in greenhouse environments in the many third-world countries that export flowers to the U.S.
  • The Ivory Coast produces the most cocoa, the main ingredient in chocolate. Child slavery has been reported on many cocoa farms in the Ivory Coast, with one study putting the number of children working in hazardous conditions at 284,000
  • 57% of men commit infidelity (and that’s just the ones who admit it!)

  1. Only 41%? Had one. Chemicals are in every damn thing. Child slaves may grow up to be slave owners! 100% of men and women commit infidelity in their heads. Keeping such thoughts in your head could lead to brain tumors.
