Consumer News and Links for Feb. 14th (Early Edition)
From the Love In The Time Of Mutawa department:
Young Saudi Arabians are shopping scared in defiance of the kingdom's ban on Valentine's Day gifts and celebrations. Both shopkeepers and consumers alike must speak in hushed tones to exchange a cheap heart-shaped box of chocolates with their loved ones. The government has even put a ban on the exchange of kisses on Valentine's Day. Sounds like someone needs a hug! (Middle East Online)
From the Red Is So Passe department:
Need an alternative to a red rose this Valentine's Day? Need something that will make you both remember this day for years to come? (She will remember because of your originality, you will remember because of your credit card debt). Why not get that special someone a platinum rose? Oh, here's why... because it costs $24, 691!!!!!
