Happy (early) Valentine's Day.

Is not something you're hoping to hear from McDonald's this year.




"Happy Valentine's Day" is not a good selling line for (most) products.  Unless you're Hallmark, Kay's, or Hershey's, you shouldn't be releasing vday-themed ads.  Half the population hates Valentine's Day (or refuses to admit it exists) and the other half is too busy being in love to pay attention to your less-than-creative sales attempts.

Here's some terrible Valentine's Day advertisements from Business Insider's list of the 25 worst Valentine's Day ads.

Natan Jewelry.  They didn't consider the ridiculous amount of men who would be forced to return the ring the day after Valentine's day.  If a woman sees this commercial, she's NOT saying yes.  Especially not on Valentine's Day.

Portugese Cardiology Foundation.  The thought of heart attacks will lift peoples' spirits on the annual lovefest.

Better yet, something that rhymes with heart attacks...

Tampax.  Seriously?  No comment.

Hopefully your man will feel bad about mentioning your period on the day he's suppose to love you most.  He'll want to make it up to you by splurging on the best gift ever.


You can't beat that one.  Go ahead and try.
