I have never heard of this day. It must be an American thing.
But if it's an excuse to take off our pants then I'm all for it.

I am just waiting for a horror/slasher movie with the demonic killers rampaging at the greeting card company headquarters.

Sweetest day has been around for a while. It is IMHO one of the silliest holidays that exist. I call it retailer day, and it is a great way to cause divorces and breakups more then expressing your love. It is a stupid excuse for retailers to make money.
