Greeting cards today are so vulgar. If you take one trip down the Hallmark aisle, you will know what I mean. Half-naked women, bearded babies, swear word puns, and an unlimited supply of innuendos plague today's birthday, anniversary, holiday, and thank you cards.
These same attention-grabbing techniques occur in advertising all the time, but they feel worse when applied to greeting cards. Cards like these are supposed to be happy, joyful, and fun.
I think I should take it upon myself to produce some positive greeting cards. I know many have been done before, and I'm not pioneering something ingenious like an Ice-Cream Re-Ice-Cream-ifier, but I think I can influence the market in the right direction. Expect some greeting cards from me in the near future.
