Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Valentine's Day is here,
and the silly, trendy news features are too!

Monsieur, mademoiselle, may I interest you in a run-of-the-mill gift guide? A celebrity love story? A compendium of "true" Valentine's Day cards? That's how Cracked.com is rocking Valentine's Day, with reader submissions of what they'd really say to their valentines. They are ever so sweet and oh-so-male and I'm real glad I'm going to have a valentine this year or this shit would keep me off the dating scene for the next six months:

Okay, I'm not that much of a Scrooge. Some of them are kinda funny ("Hey hand, thanks for everything. Happy Valentine's Day XOXO" is a particularly shiny gem) and Valentine's Day is such a saccharin holiday, anyway. Trying to be sincere on February 14 is for 14-year-olds and those self-styled Casanova-types who favor gold chains and leather seats.
