South Korean Men Have 21 Valentine Day's Type Celebrations Upon Which To Disappoint & Anger Their Women

It's amazing their population isn't shrinking:

Love comes at a hefty price in South Korea.

There are up to 21 anniversaries, special days and celebrations a year for couples to shower each other with affection and gifts, and as a result some relationships are crushed under the weight of festivities.

South Korean companies looked at the wild success of Valentine's Day celebrations in their country and found ways to sell their goods and services through a tie-up with love, marketing officials say.

Thanks to shrewd marketing in a society focused on commerce as well as love and matrimony, there is a special day on the 14th of each month for lovers to celebrate as well as a few other goodies along the way.

I observe only three love-related holiday's:

February 14, Valentine's Day -- Or, as I call it, "All You Can Eat Sizzler's Buffet Day." Ladies love Sizzler's.

June 17, "Eternal Love" Day -- where I spray my junk with Bactine before gettin' it on so I can last longer than 30 seconds. This is almost a holiday for me. When I break the 45 second mark, I tell you, I feel like the Green Lantern or somethin'.

Thanksgiving, or, "Prove To Me You'd Be A Good Mommy Day" -- where I make my special lady take care of all my illegitimate children on my one court-supervised visit per year. They're an energetic bunch of rapscallions. I call them "My Li'l Bastards," which is funny because it's true.

21 days? I don't think I could handle it.

Thanks to Allah.
