I live on a council estate. This card is not funny and I'm disgusted it was ever made.

Treefalling · 07/12/2014 09:02

Alice, you know he's not real right?

AliceinWinterWonderland · 07/12/2014 09:07

Treefalling WHAT?!?!?! Xmas Shock Say it isn't so!

Some mornings I love MN!

Some Aussie shops ceasing to stock GTA after petitions from customers is unacceptable censorship and the slippery slope to state control.

One Christmas card recycling old crap 'joke' is 'ban it instantly'

that card is shit, end of

usualsuspectsparkly3 · 07/12/2014 09:13

I've never seen the hilarious old joke before.

Was it on The Comedians in the 70s?

Treefalling · 07/12/2014 09:14

Bugger. Missed it

Staywithme · 07/12/2014 09:27

It really is a shite card, full of unimagitive jokes.

LineRunner · 07/12/2014 09:35

Alice yes, the NORAD tracking is good enough for me.

arlagirl · 07/12/2014 09:36

A dull card. Scribbler sell much better ones.
But then Clinton's is naff full stop.

SeasonsEatings · 07/12/2014 09:42

Bugger its been taken off the tinterweb. Anyone screenshot it?

SirNoel · 07/12/2014 09:48

Deeply naff. Jim Davidson-esque is dead right.

SirNoel · 07/12/2014 09:49

Scroll up seasons

RedButtonhole · 07/12/2014 11:09

sash What I was trying to convey is that I'm not overly offended by it because I know it's a load of shit and that most people on council eastates are nothing like that, myself included.

In any case it's very unimaginitave and not funny.

not funny at all

formerbabe · 07/12/2014 11:23

I found it quite funny. I think this country has lost a lot if its sense of humour! Its probably why so much comedy on tv nowadays is crap.

HonestLie · 07/12/2014 11:26

It's gone, what did it say?

HonestLie · 07/12/2014 11:27

Ah sorry just rift

HonestLie · 07/12/2014 11:27

RTFT even - gets coat!

Sallystyle · 07/12/2014 11:27

I thought it was funny and I live on a council estate.

Poolomoomon · 07/12/2014 11:30

It's not funny at all and furthermore these stereotypes are deeply outdated so it's not even current! Glad they've pulled it, what a naff card.

Imagining the posho's having a good old chuckle conjuring this one up Hmm.
