Kanye West remixed and released his take on Beyoncé’s "Drunk in Love" this weekend just in time for Valentine’s Day and it’s … romantic? If you like being impregnated in your mouth, of course, and having the world envision what you look like doing it.
If you didn’t receive candy or chocolate for Valentine’s Day, it’s probably because 1-800-Flowers ruined your day and possibly your life.
A couple (from New Jersey!) decided Valentine's Day would be the perfect opportunity to renew their vows in Times Square, but their reaffirmations of love and devotion were somewhat spoiled by the participation of the terrifying, dead-eyed "Snuggle" Bear.

Many businesses have seasonal peaks and valleys. The whole toy business hinges on December, but of course the swimsuit business doesn't crank up until May. Oh, and apparently Valentine's Day is the busy season for webcam pornography.
