Papa John's: Desperate or brilliant?

Here's the text of an email I got from my brother. Papa John's either knows their customers extremely well, or has completely run out of promotional ideas:
This is funny. I got this in a pizza order confirmation. Give that special someone pizza for Valentine's day! What an awesome gift idea!
