Politically Correct Valentine's Day

I've shamelessly nicked this from the BBC online magazine, where some legal genius posted it.

If you're about to send a card to your heart's desire, but are fearful of incurring legal action for sexual harrassment or some other difficulty, this is the Valentine you should send!
