Laurence Brown on Valentines Day

Laurence Brown of Lost in the Pond is quite a Valentine's Day cynic. His stated aim in this video is to contrast the way the British celebrate the holiday with the way Americans do it. You might guess going in that Americans go way overboard with it compared to anyone else in the world, and you would be right. Otherwise, there are more similarities than differences. What's really remarkable is that Brown is so totally unenthusiastic about Valentine's Day, despite the fact that he himself got married on February 14th. It probably has to do with his tragic history with the holiday.
