Romance Inc.


Seen above is Best Buy on Valentine's Day. A retail store that is normally filled with shoppers on a Saturday night was empty as a tomb because it is not considered a romantic setting. The same goes for pubs, where Joe and I usually dine on Valentine's Day.

As Joe and I walked around downtown Toronto, we could tell who had romance on their mind by the red or pink coloured items that accompanied them. How embarrassing for the women to carry the modern day equivalent of the scarlet letter, announcing to the world the shame of having a partner so utterly lacking in imagination.
