Make 'Em An Offer They Can Refuse

For your Valentine's Day entertainment, Paul Kafasis deconstructs Pizza Hut's recent "Tie the Knot" engagement package:
There's certainly a set of people willing to spend $10,000 on a proposal. It's likely there's also a set of people who would propose with chain restaurant pizza. Still, it's disheartening to think that the intersection of those two sets may not simply be zero. Thankfully, it's simultaneously hilarious.
I enjoyed Seth Myers' take on this during Saturday's Weekend Update:
For Valentine's Day, Pizza Hut is offering a $10,000 engagement package, which includes limo service, a ruby engagement ring, a $10 dinner box, and - hopefully - ninety-seven hundred dollars in cash."
Also notable, from the same broadcast: "Red Lobster - where people are sentenced to dinner."
