Great Moments in Journalism are submitted by readers, and can be sent to this address. Okay, the polls have closed, and the winner is Eric Shawn, who wins a copy of The Post-Colonial Studies Reader. Today's Moment comes from the Quad-City Times. The whole thing is worth reading - did you know that some companies allow you to write bad words on those Valentine's Day candy hearts? - but the end is so terrific one can only hope the writer is completely serious.

I am disappointed in the manufacturer, the shop and the consumers driving the demand for this supply. I will vent my displeasure by not shopping in that store again. There. Take that. And even though I somewhat agree with my husband who assures me this article might inform people of this product and only incite some of them to go out and buy boxes of these candies, I think they should feel just a little guilty if they do.

There's nothing sweet about this Valentine [Quad-City Time]
