Real classy, Hallmark

At first I wasn't bothered by this at all. Then I realised someone thought selling that card was a good idea, and other people apparently agreed. And people probably bought them. So I feel a little weird now.

Hallmark is overpriced cardboard.

It's funny. It's a funny card. For a subreddit that complains about people not being able to take a joke, you guys really can't take a joke.

I don't see the problem here...

Are you serious? It's a fucking joke, it's tasteless and unfunny but, believe it or not, men also sometimes make tasteless and unfunny jokes about women. With the possible exceptions of /r/foreveralone and /r/depression, I'm pretty sure this is the whiniest subreddit.

It's funny how the post right below this one is complaining about how people bitch about sexist jokes.

I didn't see the problem with it until I realized that it would be obscene if the card instead said: "I wanted to get you a stupid fuck-hole...". If someone called someone I loved stupid or a fuck-hole, I'd be pissed. But I'm sure that some people that got this card must have liked this sentiment.

I advocate minor acts of vandalism for cases like this. Surreptitiously bend over the corner of the card while you read it. That way no-one will buy it, and both Hallmark and the store will have a small financial loss as a punishment for their misandry.

Yeahhhh. I just discovered this sub-reddit but it's been really...motivating me.

I'm doing this at least once, and may continue to do it in the future. If I see that blasted card, I am going to buy it, take it home, and draw a man saying the exact same speech bubble on the right side of the card (and I'll put the text that's on the right side of the original in both speech bubbles). I will then go put it back in the front of the cards I bought it from.

Nothing violent, nothing even insulting, just literally a man next to the woman repeating exactly what she is saying. The reaction(s) will be very interesting.

I saw a marriage congratulations card once that had a woman standing with a man on a leash, on his hands and knees. The inside said "the key to a successful marriage is to know your place."

Why does this subreddit always bitch about stupid stuff. Get your priorities straight. This is NOT offensive and anyone who finds it so is a moron. It's just a joke. Get over yourself. You sound just as annoying as extreme feminists, another group of people who love to get pissed off at stupid shit.

SlimThugga · 2012-05-16T10:19:57+00:00

That's pretty misandri-wait a minute, why would a dishwasher talk and say something like that?

UnoriginalMike · 2012-05-16T03:39:09+00:00

It's all in good humor -- imo.

But good luck getting anyone to type "misandry" and having it the top comment if this hits peoples front page.

Where are you SRS? LOL
