The following Dodgers have been smited by the JDK for their crimes against Jam:
All the girls! for picking on the JDK and damaging his already delicate self esteem!
The Basserd Who Nicked Copper's Stuff For the offense of nicking Copper's stuff. You are a tw*t, whoever you are and we all hope you get run over by a tram in Nottingham. Or Liverpool. Or whereever else they have trams!
Copper For the crime of playing with her Wii instead of her Jammie pals!
It is a commercial con, but I expect it has more to do with restauranteurs and florists than card sellers. I think the best way round it is to tell your significant other that your love them so much all year round, that having a special day for it kinda trivialises it.
Now the real card cons are the new ones that seem to have popped up over the last couple of years. Teachers day. Nurses day. Secretaries Day. And worst of all, towards the end of last year, I'm pretty sure I spotted 'Bosses Day'!
I notice no-one's come up with a 'Day' that means I get a card and a pressie. Banker's Day, perhaps. Database Programmers Day? Even a plain old 'Employees Day' would do. I just want attention!

This is Simon's & my view. We've never given in to the commercialism of this one.
