Saint Valentinus was a third century Roman Christian, who died on the Via Flamina in Rome and his feast day is celebrated on Febuary 14th. It is hard enough for most people to understand what happened last week, so it is understandable that little is known about an early Christian from 1800 years ago, but popular legend has it that he was imprisoned (and later martyred) for performing weddings, and while incarcerated he sent a note signed "from your Valentine." Today, Valentine's day is fully exploited by the Hallmarks, Walmarts and FTDs of the world to persuade Americans into opening their wallets and buying some chocolate heart shaped kitsch. The Daily Turismo is going to join the
desecration festivities by asking the following question of our readers: "What car would you buy your sweetie for Valentine's day?"
As readers of this site you are given the remarkable opportunity to go anywhere else in the world wide web and read someone else...but for some reason readers keep coming back. So, instead of continuing to push whatever junk we find (or get tipped) on a regular basis, perhaps I could take this opportunity to ask what do you want to see more/less of on this site?
