So This is Romance?
Aaaah…Valentine’s Day, an occasion for secretive cards to someone you admire, or perhaps a single, humble red rose, as token of undying love…or as Amazon would like it, a Kindle Fire at just £160.00 for that special someone in your life! The marketing superpowers have really fucked Valentine’s day up and not content with avoiding tax, Amazon are now trying to pressurise individuals via email so they stripe them for £160.00 just ...
