With just one day left before Valentine’s Day, Virgin Mobile USA<\/a> (yes, the mobile carrier) is letting everyone off the hook by declaring today, February 13, “National Breakup Day.”<\/p>\n

Evidently, a survey by Virgin found that 59% of survey-takers, if they were going to break up with their significant other, would break up with them before Valentine’s Day<\/a> to save a little cash. The survey also found that 42% of survey-takers had stayed in a bad relationship “because they were scared to make a change and try something new.” With these things in mind, the mobile carrier is actively encouraging people to gather their courage and dump their overly attached<\/a> significant other.<\/p>\n

Of course, for Virgin Mobile the fake holiday isn’t just about promoting break-ups. That would be disturbing. The company is making a comparison between people in strung-out relationships and people who are in expensive contracts with other mobile carriers. Virgin is offering $100 off a Galaxy S II smartphone during National Breakup Day.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want people to understand that they don\u2019t have to be stuck in a bad relationship,\u201d said Ron Faris, head of brand marketing for Virgin Mobile. \u201cIf you\u2019re in a tough spot, whether it\u2019s with your significant other or your current postpaid phone carrier, why delay the inevitable? Just break free!\u201d<\/p>\n
