Beware Capitalists On Satanic 14th Feb!
WOW!
The call to embrace cows instead of being romantic on Valentine’s Day faced backlash on social media.

The Indian Animal Welfare Board said hugging the animals would “increase individual and collective happiness” earlier in the week. https://news.sky.com/story/indian-govt-withdraws-appeal-to-hug-cows-on-valentines-day-to-prevent-ridicule-12807757
Don’t think much of how these Indians propose to celebrate the Big Day..
Perhaps some naughty readers may find alternatives discussed here in Indonesia more appealing.
Here’s a popular preacher!

Is it not in Indonesia, Aceh, I think, that a young couple can be punished by law if they are caught going for a walk on the beach hand in hand?
That puts me off going on holiday to that country.
