"but at least we have each other"
Target is currently selling Grey's Anatomy valentines. For serious. They have Desperate Housewives valentines, too. But the Grey's ones have a picture of Meredith and Christina at the bar and the card says "Not my idea of the perfect Valentine's day, but at least we have each other." Think about this product for a minute:
They're selling Valentines to adults - single adults. As if the Valentine's day market wasn't big enough with all the married couples, unmarried couples, quasi-married couples, and ex-couples - they've got to go after the rest of us.
Also, who wants a Valentine from their friend saying, "oh well, until we find boyfriends, guess we'll just drink ourselves silly." GEEZ. What if that IS your idea of the perfect Valentine's day? (And yes, Valentine's day at a bar with Sandra Oh WOULD be perfect, but that's not what I meant). I mean that some of us actually don't feel like crap when we don't get flowers on February 14. Some of us actually really like our single people's dinners, our wallets bulging with the money we didn't spend on bouquets, our dates with the L Word on DVD. . .I ask you - do I need a card for that?
And finally, even though Grey's Anatomy is near and dear to my heart, it is one of the least romantic shows I can think of. Everyone cheats, everyone makes horrible sex-related judgment calls, and at one point half the hospital has syphilis. NOT ROMANTIC. You can't just play that "Chasing Cars" song and call it "romance." If you just lay there, someone's gonna step on you, buddy. And it's probably going to be me.
