I would also like to politely request that De Beers and all other diamond vendors STFU immediately. If I hear one more commercial intimating that the hearts of women everywhere are irreparably shattered when their husbands/boyfriends/sons fail to buy them diamonds on February 14th, I am pretty sure my own heart will explode with rage and irritation.
If Kay Jewelers would just change their commercial song to "Every Killing begins with "Kay", then I'd buy a fuck-ton of diamonds! To kill people with, of course...
Embarrassing fact: it took me YEARS to realize that the point of that jingle was a spelling pun. I thought they were actually saying that no one gets a kiss unless you buy jewelry from them, so I just tuned those commercials out entirely for making such a ridiculous claim.
The same thing happened with that expression for lost things, "It'll be in the last place you look." I would just sort of laugh uncomprehendingly when people said that to me, because I thought it was just one of those dumb old sayings that make no sense. I mean, it's still a dumb old saying, but it kind of makes sense.
OK. So I'm not the only one. V actually had to sit me down and explain this to me. I felt really dumb. She still laughs whenever the commercial comes on and I look sheepish.

Agree completely on this holiday. As the kid put it, "What a great idea! Let's devote a whole day to making people feel inadequate!"
