Oh Valentine's Day. That one day a year where the world celebrates love and the entertainment industry tries to make tenuous links between their movies/TV shows and V-Day in order to promote their upcoming releases. We don't mind too much though because some of them are just ridiculous and therefore funny. Scroll on for some of the weirdest Valentine's Day posts we've seen so far.
