NSFW, but hilarious, e-greeting cards

What is a blog?  For us it is a short blurb that we write when the mood strikes us.  It can be first person, funny or informative. In short, a blog is whatever we want it to be. Published May 3, 2007 at 3:24 p.m.
Tags: e-cards, nsfw

The other day I blogged about the state of the Web in 1998 (and how local TV stations appear to be stuck in a lame time warp). Today, I'll tell you about a highly inappropriate, but hilarious, Web site that takes a decade-old concept and makes it funny as hell.

The site is called someecards.com, and their tag line should give you a little insight into what you'll find there: "When you care enough to hit send."

We all remember those lame-ass, free e-greeting cards we received, um, every day, back in the late '90s. Get this: excite.com even bought bluemountain.com for like a zillion dollars (actually it was $780 million, but who's counting?) on the fad value alone. Ah, the salad days of the early Internets.

(Side note: What's excite.com up to these days? Oh yeah, nothing.)

Anyhoo, someecards.com takes online greeting cards and makes them great again. Here are some of the safe-for-work cards I can mention:

  • In the "friendship" category: I deleted you from my cell phone
  • In the "workplace" category: You've been distant since the sexual harassment
  • In the "baby" category: You're going to be a great father assuming you're the father
  • In the "graduation" category: Good luck finding shameful entry-level employment

I could go on and on, but the best cards are the ones I can't print in this "family" publication.

Of course, all cards come with cheesy, black and white (and strangely appropriate) clip art.

I highly suggest you send your loved one a card today. And thanks, co-worker Caroline, for pointing this out to me. I hope you enjoyed that NSFW card I just sent you.
