Instead this is a day when we celebrate lust and even encourage children to take part.

Nah, it's not a satire, but it's also not a Catholic-teen-only effort. Got to be some humorless sourpuss adults driving this.

What can you do? Don’t buy cards that leave off the Saint. Don’t buy Valentines chocolates that leave off the Saint. And don’t shop at stores that leave off the Saint.

Whew! I'm safe. I'm shopping at St. Victoria's Secret.
