Interesting idea.

I was hoping to see a reference to Becky Wyco (one of Halmark's current art directors and also, one I had the pleasure of working with), but I guess she works with a different department.

They should take this idea one step further and create a humorous shoebox line of cards with these new subject manners.

Front:
Picture of an ugly overweight redneck.

Inside:
I saw the father .. Wise Decision.
Congratulation on the Abortion.

Front:
Heard about your beating ...

Inside:
The good news is having your husband killed is cheaper than a good divorce laywer.

Front:
Congratulation on coming out of the closet.

Inside:
Too bad you do not have their good looks or fashion sense.
