Ad Nauseam: Adam & Eve dot com

Okay, so there's really nothing about the content or the makeup of this ad (another running on satellite radio) that bothers me. It's just a saucy-sounding woman narrating an offer for a sex-toys website. What does bother me, though, is this opening line:

"You can make this Valentine's Day one that you'll both never forget..."

Alright, I get the idea. But seriously, couldn't you have expressed this thought in a way that doesn't trample the English language like a horny elephant? Maybe "one that you'll both remember forever," or "one that neither of you will ever forget?"

Don't you people have proofreaders? More importantly, where do you find your copywriters? Gah.

Oh God, you're right, that is painful. Please, believe me when I say not everyone in the adult entertainment industry is that incompetent when it comes to the english language. Forgetful, yes, but at least they're coherent.
