While most young people celebrate Valentine's Day on Feb. 14 every year, others find entire new arrangements for this grand tradition, Guangzhou Daily reported.


Many conservative Russians hold that Valentine's Day makes no good on youngsters' spiritual and moral development. So the government of Belgorodskaya Oblast announced in 2011 that the festival could not be celebrated in any form of activities.

Some French men may receive a special Valentine's Day gift -- hardcover bull dung if they broke up before the festival. Their ex-girlfriends can buy bull dung weighting 100 grams online for 14 euros.


The founder of the site claimed that if a woman is dumped by her boyfriend, she can send him a box of bull dung to let him be suffocated by the stinking smell.

Elsewhere, the Rock radio station in New Zealand is to spring divorces by a radio program. The participant can read the divorce declaration through the radio. The radio station also promised that they will pay the divorce lawsuit fees for them.

《广州日报》称,对许多年轻人来说,每年的2月14日是一个隆重的节日,然而,有人却选择另类的方式度过情人节。

很多保守派的俄罗斯人认为,情人节对青少年的精神和道德培养无益,该国别尔哥罗德省于2011年宣布,禁止举办任何形式的情人节庆祝活动。

而一些在情人节前分手的法国男人,可能会收到特殊礼物——精装牛粪。被抛弃的女友可以花上14欧元网购重达100克的精装牛粪。

网站创始人称,如果在情人节前被前男友甩了,寄给他一盒牛粪,让臭气熏死他。

另外,新西兰“摇滚”电台策划节目促成离婚,参与者不仅可以通过电台宣读离婚宣言,电台还答应替他们承担离婚官司的费用。
