No one disputes the wondrous power of love and the feeling of euphoria it can create. Indeed, when Chaucer introduced the idea of modern Valentine's greetings, he may have been fully aware of the endurance of this holiday. Some, however, believe that Saint Valentine's Day has grown too commercial; it is more about consumerism than the power of love. Some also believe that Singles Awareness Day (SAD) puts too much pressure on those who are not currently in a relationship. And so, in less an act of defiance against society's norms and more in the name of good fun, the Clearview Teens celebrated Anti-Valentine's Day. They decorated cupcakes with black frosting, played "Guess This Celebrity Ex-Couple," and altered the covers of romance novels to their liking. It just goes to show that roses and candlelight dinners aren't the only ways to have fun on February 14th.
Nice!
