Helping men everywhere to appear to actually care for their loved ones

MrThoughtful.com makes me more angry than excited about innovation in the card community. Why do companies continue to enable men's thoughtlessness? And who designed this Web site, a pack of moths? I was going to write monkeys, but monkeys undoubtedly have better HTML skills.

For the record, if you can't remember my birthday -- considering what a huge deal I make about it every year -- you'll need more than an e-reminder service to inform you of the world of Hell you're going to be in.

PEP Greetings: Potpourri-free since 2006.

Who writes them? Not me. Well, not those, anyway

This Austin (Minn.? Really?) Daily Herald writer has a good point: There are a ton of shitty greeting card writers who, unfortunately, are polluting your local card buying spot with their attempts at wit and insight.

"You would think an industry that can somehow get a greeting card to play music — the Star Wars Theme, the Chicken Dance — could figure out a way to write cards for brothers buying them for their sisters."

Too bad he didn't venture outside of the shoe box. Often the fun comes in working to make a card's "defined" intention meet your purpose.
