Rejected Greeting Cards: Appropriate for No Occasion

Category: Conspicuous consumptionEphemeraFrivolity
Posted on: November 23, 2009 11:27 AM, by Jessica Palmer

There's a new humor presence on Twitter and Facebook: rejectedcards. The author says, "I'm a copywriter for a major greeting card company. I get bored and create cards I know we'll never print. These are those cards."

Cards like. . .

"Another Year, Same Birthday Question: (inside) Are you sure you don't want us to pull the plug?"

or

"So sorry you lost your job. Are there other professions that use poles?"

I wish this writer would collaborate with the snarky letterpress outlet Blue Barnhouse. I'd totally buy their products. But FYI: some of them are pretty offensive, so don't say I didn't warn you. . .
