Forbidden Fruit Is the Sweetest One

St. Valentine’s Day is coming. Many lovers are wandering along stores looking for the best gifts to buy for their beloved people. Men are purchasing chocolate and red roses in tons. I like Valentine’s Day…

I have always thought that Valentine’s Day is a unanimous holiday that is celebrated all over the world. But yesterday I heard that not all countries celebrate this holiday. More over it is banned in some Islamic countries.

So, it is forbidden to celebrate St. Valentine’s Day in Saudi Arabia. The government believes that Valentine’s Day is an immoral holiday that provokes fornication. Fornication is considered to be a sin in many Islamic countries and Saudi Arabian government decided to forbid St. Valentine Day in order to keep its citizens from the sin.

The strangest thing about this prohibition is that the government forbade selling and buying roses. So, many men who still want to give flowers to their beloved woman on this holiday have to buy the flowers illegal. The prices on red roses have skyrocketed for the last few weeks and the red rose black market made huge sums of money on selling the flowers. So, the question is, haven’t Saudi Arabian government pushed its people to even more sin? As the saying goes, a forbidden fruit is the sweetest one.

The Best Valentine's Day Present

Hey, people! Are you looking for a special Valentine’s Day gift for your sweetheart? Give him/her an all-chocolate room. Just imagine, a room with chocolate walls, furniture, pictures on the walls, and even candles on the dining-table.

I wish I could spend a day in such a chocolate room. The only “but” is chocolate tends to melt, I wonder how much time a human being can spend in a chocolate room before it begins to melt. But what an experience! I think it is a great invention!

I do envy Ali Larter who takes part in ads of this unusual Valentine’s gift. She is really lucky!
