Japan killjoys wage war on Valentine's 'conspiracy'

As Japan prepares to celebrate Valentine's Day, a cranky group of Marxist protesters have called for an end to public displays of love, claiming it hurts their feelings. Members of 'Kakuhido', or the Revolutionary Alliance of Men that Women find Unattractive, unfurled a giant "Smash Valentine's Day" banner as the party-poopers set off to try and overthrow the annual celebration of romance. "Our aim is to crush this love capitalism," the group's public relations chief Takayuki Akimoto told AFP.
