You know, it's funny....modern girls all think they're above this sort of thing....but they're not. The models in the picture may look plastic, the writing may come off as insincere or cliched, but the card is effective nevertheless.
People respond to elevated speech, to words that conjure up a romantic ideal. It doesn't matter that people don't talk that way in real life. That's precisely why we like it.
Romance is too important to be spoken about in the same language that we use to buy aspirin.

Great last line. Johnny Depp's an underrated comedian.
I have a difficult time picking out Valentine's day cards, Birthday cards etc., and have debated the importance of them with myself for years. I've come to the conclusion that they do have real meaning for people, despite having the meaning put through the emotional sausage grinder of the Hallmark cards writing and production team.
I've found Spanish language greeting cards better than most. Or maybe I'm juyst doing my own Don Juan thing....
I read the second one and was like "DAYUM!" because was so...overt.
Heh, way to remind me of my new found single-ness during Valentine's Day. XD
Champaignnnnnaaa!
Getting drunk and fucking.
Period.

You are a wise and funny man Mr. Fitzgerald =)
