Valentine's Day. A quick rundown of gifts I've gotten throughout the years on this (not so) special holiday. Grammar school: I don't know, a few cards here and there..probably some chocolate from Kyle Balmer. Highschool: Hi, I attended an all girl's Catholic academy. It was filled with a ton of anorexic, lesbian coke addicts, but I'll save that story for a rainy day. Anyway, this holiday was a HUGE deal during this time and you weren't shit unless your boyfriend had candy, stuffed animals and flowers delivered while you were sitting in class. Of course my high-maintenance ass had my man at the moment deliver all three of these items and then some to me. This was essential. Fast forward to more recent years. Other random items include, more chocolate, more cards, a sprinkle of mix CD's, a diamond encrusted Wu-Tang watch (no joke), and sex. Let's elaborate about sex for a minute. How many people in this great big world of ours will be doing the dirty dirty today/tonight? While walking to class today, I notice that more couples were holding hands than on any other given day, so that ratio can be translated to sex, right? Is this google-able? Of course I tried. I didn't find exactly what I was looking for, but I did however, find this:Bangkok - Alarmed by polls showing one in four Thai teens will celebrate Valentine's Day by having sex, police plan to swoop on motels, malls and parks to ensure youths behave themselves on the "Day of Love".
"We will send patrols to check out public parks, restaurants and shopping malls, which are the starting points for potential sexual activities that will be done at home or motels," Bangkok police spokesman Suporn Pansuea said.I don't have a US statistic to fully support my theory, but I am still going to make the assumption that Thai teens are getting more action than people in the United States, including myself. Police officers aren't dedicating the time to scour US grounds to prevent people from doing "it", and now having read this, I kind of feel bad that they aren't. So tonight, while Thai teens are getting a little something something (probably while listening to the songs below), a few of my friends and I will be drowning our sorrows in an "Iron Maiden" Kuma's burger, which just so happens to be my Valentine's Day gift for 2008.
Thailand's moral guardians are taking action after an Assumption University poll showed 27 percent of 2 400 Bangkok teenagers surveyed said they might have sex on Wednesday.
