Given that we’re now definitely well into February, I thought it was about time we brought back the biliousness of the season, in the form of the infamous Be My Anti Valentine site, now back for 2007. Huzzah.
Still full of snarky, sarky cards to send to your loved ones and people you know, it’s much the same as the site you may remember from years gone by, only this year (hopefully) with added stability.
Massive kudos and a cast-iron promise of precisely NO pukesome pastel toys holding heart-shaped signs saying “wuv oo!” in Comic Sans to the lovely geek I married, for doing devious things with servers, perl and CGI, which I think is above and beyond the limits of the marriage vows. Rock on.
Also this year, no more ads. They were ugly and irrelevant anyway - Google seemed curiously unable to tell the difference between a Valentines site and an ANTI-Valentine’s site, and believe me, there’s quite a difference. If we need to shore the server up, or placate the lovely people at Pair, there’s still an option to donate, should people feel so inclined.
Media-wise, I’ve done a couple of interviews already (one radio, two newspaper) and I’ve prepared a fairly detailed FAQ for anyone needing to understand what this is all about.
So, with the sound of Paul shouting “ooh, there’s another one” from his study as he watches the database count tick over, I’m going to sit back and see what happens. Let the fun begin.
ok, i just loved your cards. I’m an anti VD sincei find the right words to say it (here!)…it is so..like uhhh have a life!!!
and of course for those who can’t stop talking about their fuking wedding or husband or house, kids..flowers…etc
nice job.

And for, I think, the fourth year in a row, I’ll be heard to mumble to myself… ‘wish I’d thought of that’.
You might need to update the Happy Tuesday one for 2007
@CowTown: There’s a “Happy Wednesday” one in there, too, down near the bottom (they’re in alphabetical order).
In fact, in the spirit of not needing to wait for one particular day to say anything to anyone, I might make cards for each day of the week…
Another year! Can we see a counter or do we get a post event Flickr hosted graph looking like a advanced ski jump again?
What about a Birthday one?:
“You’re right, having your birthday on Valentine’s Day IS much worse than working out you were conceived on it.”
Its so cold the server shouldn’t overheat.
El anti-consumismo también es un buen negocio
A propósito de la celebración del DÃa de San ValentÃn o DÃa de los Enamorados, noté que hay creciente crispación y rechazo en relación al caracter comercial de esta celebración (algo que no ocurre con la misma intensidad con otras).
