Valentines day

Numerous complaints arise that Valentines day today is only a hallmark event to give loved ones gifts. To counter this, we can celebrate Valentines day in the customary manner!


Lets kill a religious man-
Three Saints, all known as a variation of Valentine, were executed supposedly at this time centuries ago. Respecting their sacrifice in annual religious events has been a custom in the Christian community long before Valentine's day was associated with anything romantic.

This year, one Chris Sepulvado will be executed on February 13th. He is a deeply religious man that boasts about his faith in God and the church. He has made numerous appeals for his life but he will almost certainly be dead this Valentine's day.  His crime? 20 years ago he murdered 6 year old Allen Mercer with a screw driver.

Admittedly, we can't quite call this years sacrifice a martyr when he is in fact a terrible man who likely deserves every moment of hell he believes is coming to him. This Valentines day we will essentially be celebrating his death.

The media celebration of course has different plans, so by all means, celebrate with chocolate in heart shaped boxes if that is how you respond to executions.
