I found this interesting...

and how exactly would you explain this to your spouse if they found it?

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Wow.

















Wow. Yeah, that about covers it.

OMJesus. YOu know, maybe I should buy a shitload of those and send them to the fuckers in my husband's unit...i hear they might get alot of use out of them.

But even if and I stress that word alot.. IF I was going to be adulterous why bring light to that fact? Most women I have known that are having affairs (yes I have a few friends that are and no it isn't with me) all kind of have a "I don't want to admit "she" is there". It is almost like they want to forget that he has a wife and often times thinks about marrying him as well. I mean you see that all the time in movies, and in plays and read it in books, but not just there in "make believe" land but in reality. Almost every woman I know that is going through emotional problems due to having an affair says the hardest problem they have is that they can't dream of one day being with that person.

My whole point to this is why in the hell if I was with someone like that would she want to point it out if I was married? Seems to me she would just get me a card like most people do in love. I don't know... I don't get it. Besides it pretty much blatantly says "I am wrong for loving you but I am going to anyway". Most people don't like to face that it is "wrong" to love them and focuses on the actual feelings, emotional attachments, physical attachments etc. Just seems that these cards wouldn't be too appealing. But then again what do I know.

P.S. Is it just me or does it piss anyone else off that someone is wanting to market other people's dysfunctional relationships? Sometimes I wonder about the integrity of people wanting to market other people's misery. Same rant I have with "dating companies" who don't give a damn about the people they represent and instead just make money off their emotional distress. Just seems wrong to me.

Hmmmmm.

I'm ordering a case...you know, just in case :o

YES! Another case in point is that stupid fucking show that was one a couple years ago, "Temptation Island." You remember, the one where they took couples that were having difficulties and put them in romantic situation with other people and made their S.O. watch the dates. I hated that fucking show for this exact reason - it played off people's misery. It wasn't about keeping people together, it was about driving them apart. Why in hell does society make it so difficult for two people to stay together long term?

Jesus.

/end rant


P.S. Ironically, the song playing on my launchcast radio when i was typing this was "let's stay together" by Al Green. just found that a little humorous.

[BigBear57]

It's like these were done as a joke and then somebody realised there might be money in it. damn

[Lilith]

random address searching :o How evil indeed :D

[jennaflower]

ROFLMAO... oh my Lilith... you have a splended mind... LOL...... address them... lick the stamp... and make sure you include the address to your dungeon as the sender :)

[Fangtasia]

I think they're cool *LOL*

[Steph]

I think they're kinda cute, too. :D

From my experience, I would guess 80% of dating company revenues comes from married men. I don't think the companies initially marketed to married guys but they're the ones who want to pay to hook up.

As an aside, towards the bottom of the article, I noticed they gave the prononuciation for a doctor's name. I have no clue why they did that. I could understand if it was a radio script but a print article?

[scotzoidman]

The thing that jumps out at me is brought out in pg 2 of the article - how stupid do ya hafta be to make a hard copy document of your supposed "secret"...1st the greeting card co. is gonna profit, then the divorce lawyers take your ass to the cleaners, & why?






...because you're a fucking idiot...

[wyndhy]

omg, that's funny. in a dumb kind of way but funny nonetheless

we could always use a little extra cash. i'll jump on this bandwagon and create my own line of mushy love cards. i'll call it.........the zoo pals...when you care enough to do it doggie style. it'll be one of those sound cards, cause we all know animals don't read. hey! i could even include the appropriate treat.

I was thinking something along the lines of "Slamer Grams"

One to read....OOOPs sorry you got caught and are headed for the slammer. See ya when you get out....or something like that.

Another one....A little advice.....dont bend over to pick up the soap unless you want to.

Sorry but I really have a sick mind at other peoples expense. :rofl:

“I can see trouble ahead,” he said. “This will be a boon for marriage therapists all across the nation, because [the cards] are going to wind up in the wrong hands. They’re going to go to the wrong address, and they’re not going to self-destruct.”


:confused:



That would be the Kaczynski Kard, right? :D
