The Ambisexual Romance Turn-Off

Here's the chorus from the extra-inverted singer's latest song:

But if I had you, that would be the only thing I'd ever need

Yeah if I had you, then money fame and fortune never could compete

If I had you, life would be a party it'd be ecstasy

Yeah, if I had you

You-y-y-y-y-you

You-y-y-y-y-you

You-y-y-y-y-you

If I had you

I don't about y'all....but I can't listen to that song when it comes on the AM/FM radio. And I definitely don't want my kids humming along to it either.

It's bad enough that popular music has glorified *unrealistic romance* to the point where young Morons are so deluded as to what their future spouse will be....that they all but squander their lives in search thereof.

But now we have to bear that crap sung by an unapologetic Tinkerbell in Adam Lambert?  Is this really *marketable imagery?

I'll pass, thank you.  And I sincerely doubt I'm the only one whose stomach turns, and then radio dial turns upon hearing his voice.

A Faux Boom?

I always found it funny to check out the *card section* of CVS or Walgreens the morning of Valentine's Day - it's always jam-packed with procrastinating, stressed out *men*.

This Valentine's Day weekend I was at a local mall where I beheld the above line, a line JUST TO GET INTO THE STORE.

What is Pandora anyway?

I think it's cheap costume jewelry or something.

Note that day I also walked by two traditional, precious metallic, jewelry stores. But both were deserted.

Animal Attraction

From Reuters:

Rather than spending Valentine's Day with their partner, one-fifth of adults would prefer to be with their pet...

"Likely defying stereotype, the desire to spurn a partner for a pet is not rooted in gender but rather age and even there it seems the older you are, the least likely it is you'd choose pet over partner," said Wright.

"While there are country differences, it's more of a personal choice made by younger and less affluent individuals."

On a country-by-country basis, residents of Turkey were the most likely, at 49 percent, to choose their pet over their spouse or partner.

So people really romance their animals in Turkey, eh?

That *study* reminds me of that Hungarian classmate of mine at UPenn...

My roommate and I got him to admit that his *first love* was a sheep!

Roommates - It was a 'cultural thing', right?

AnimalLover - YEAH. YEAH. Everyone does it!

Shocker!!! ↑

Valentines Day - Another Pagan Holiday

So what in heaven's name are we to make of Taylor's personalized valentines?

What a ridiculous holiday Valentines Day is!

I submit that spinsters shouldn't have a *special day*. They're entitled to nothin' until they're married.

One of the funnier sights I ever saw was at least ten years ago at the CVS on 20th and Chestnut in Philadelphia. It had to be 8am on V-Day morning and the card section was mobbed. There were at least 20 slacker dudes (no chicks!) there mining for the perfect card to sub-in for a presumable lack of gifts. I'll bet half of them wrote-in a *coupon* for a massage on the $3 cardboard expression of passionate love!

In fact, I recognized one of the romantics there as the boyfriend of a young lady I once very much fancied.

The next time I saw her, I promptly ratted his tardy butt out!

Full Disclosure - I wasn't at CVS that early buying a card....I was buying personal lubricant.

I'll bet Mrs. C-Nut buys me nothing this year, yet again.
