It's about stalking, OK? The version commemorating Biggie Smalls had more romance than this...

Google very nearly managed something very special today. Their Valentine's Day logo was the following:

This lovely little picture came extremely close to convincing me that maybe there's a little bit more to Valentine's Day than the manic laughter of greetings card salesmen and waves of fluffy pink teddy bears clutching roses. Perhaps sometimes it doesn't result in people serenading their loved ones with awful songs. And perhaps some people can see past the horrific tackiness and cut right to the beautiful, meaningful core of the whole operation.

But why break the habit of a lifetime? Let's instead continue what I did last year and present something which, just like this whole excuse for a holiday, isn't anywhere near as romantic as everyone seems to think it is. Enjoy.
