We’ll assume you’ve recently had your heart broken if you plan to spend Valentine’s Day crying into a glass of red wine and watching Bridget Jones’ Diary while eating ice cream straight from the tub.
Even if that isn’t your current plan, we’ve all had a bad ex at some point in our lives.......
..... The San Antonio Zoo is offering a special Valentine’s Day greeting to all of your ex-partners who are living rent-free inside your head.
The zoo will name a cockroach after your not-so-special someone for a pittance of USD$10
And if that isn’t a cold yet clear message to the universe that you’re so done with that rancid, heart-crushing loser, then we don’t know what else to do.
It’s the perfect way to get a little bit of revenge on a former flame.
And you don’t even have to feel bad about it because the money goes to helping animals at the Texas zoo and further afield.
Hooray!
But want more bang for your buck? We’ve got you, boo.
Donors will receive a digital Valentine’s Day card acknowledging their support of the fundraiser.
And here is where your ice-cold slice of revenge gets really sweet – your ex can also be sent a digital card informing them of their devoured cockroach namesake.
Aw, take that, you cheating/lying/good-for-nothing loser.
Or, if a roach ain’t your style, you can instead have a veggie named after an ex for USD$5 (AUD$7, £4).
We suggest a brussel sprout, because they suck.
If you’re feeling extra vengeful/charitable, you can name your ex after a rat for USD$25 (AUD$35, £20).
The website states: “San Antonio Zoo hosts its Cry Me a Cockroach Fundraiser, where funds raised support the zoo’s vision of securing a future for wildlife in Texas and around the world!

And let’s not forget that tomorrow (Sunday) is ‘National Shower With A Friend Day’.
Oh how sweet! And they say that romance is dead.
They could make a fortune if they would name the cockroaches “Brandon” or “Joe Biden”.
I’m going to buy one and name it Hillary.
That’s majorly mean!
Why would I want to abuse a zoo animal like that? They never did anything mean to me.
I’m loving this concept too much.
“ We suggest a brussel sprout, because they suck.”
This is what won me over.
Brussels sprouts are evil.
I used to name lobsters after ex girlfriends before dropping them into boiling water.
“Brussels sprouts are evil.”
You are so right!!!
You nailed it!!
We should name loads of cockroaches Joe Biden!!!
And use the Whitehouse email!!!
Is that threatening?
Can I name it Klaus Schwab? “You vill eat zee bugs und like it!”
Anyone who would do such a thing deserved to be divorced in the first place. If children are involved, you are saying your children’s mother or father is a cock-roach and is worth no more than animal food. How crude!
They would do a lot better to have family sponsor the cost of food for an animal for a month by donating a certain amount. Such a donation could then allow access to close-up habitat webcams to watch the enclosures of that animal. Now something such as that would be an uplifting and positive story and would probably get them more donations. Plus, it would introduce children to the habits of animals, what they eat, etc.
I do admit it is rather amusing and a novel fundraising scheme. However, why does everything now have to be based upon negativity instead of positive actions?
do gays name dung beetles after their exes?

Watched the news lately? List three positive things you’ve seen, because I can’t.
Probably not a very healthy activity, but I do recommend naming the dog after the ex or mother-in-law.
