Can’t even begin to imagine what a honking great cunt Greg is, the Burtons store card prick.

You can tell from the little ad copy captions that these are all dreamed up by tragic arts graduates from Russell Group universities who thought they’d be knocking out restaurant reviews for the Times by now.

I wonder how I can get into the card game?

It’s a fascinating business model. I mean, you could write 200 of these in a day… what do you do the rest of the time? Is it a freelance gig? Do the designers just write them themselves? Does the cleaner chip in? Baffling.

Might actually be lower than “kebab photographer” on the shit art grad job ladder.

Speaking of humanity, these do seem to be basically ploughing the same shitty furrow as Cards Against Humanity.

Well, here you go:

“I may write anywhere from two to 20 cards a week, it really varies.”

Can you imagine! “Hey HYG, you got that card text yet?” “I’ll have it in a couple of days boss, I’m just really trying to nail the finish.” “Attaboy, HYG”. HYG goes back to Dissing.

my dad got me this birthday card

You do like owls and you are quite irritable, so I think this is good.

It’s funny because bowel rhymes with owl

Don’t look at this one, Xylo!

oi!!

Ones which are just a nice picture for anyone female - National Trust ones, or flowers or animals or whatever. Definitely no soppy poems, no Forever Friends bears. Dads are tricky as they are all terribly cliche - golf, beer, cars etc PLUS poems or crap jokes, but they don’t appreciate cards of nice things either. Luckily I can get the kids to make one these days, especially last minute ones. Moonpig for picture ones of the family too, they are old enough to be amazed by this.

ohhhhhhhhh!!

I like the ones that are water colours of an old-fashioned racing car.

Imagine being someone who bought that card and has any friends whatsoever.

Posted elsewhere on here recently, but imagine my horror when I stumbled upon this in Paperchase the other day…

Feel a bit ill at the significant otter one.

Might have enjoyed it as a Limp Bizkit parody, though.

My nan still buys me these. “To A Special Grandson” :hugging:
