obligatory valentine's day post

the uk register remarks on the silly stretching to connect issues, products, etc to valentine's day. case in point, email filtering specialist Michael Carmichael says

"A recent survey showed that 23 per cent of news items carried on February 14 were Valentines-related, PR-generated nonsense. This is costing the UK 2.3bn lost column inches of real news per year - equivalent to 23,000 jobs for up-and-coming journalists."

however, he undercuts--or reinforces--his point when he continues to plug his own filtering product
btw, would his product filter out his own press release?
