Offensive greetings card

If you received this card, would you find it funny, or think it was rude?
Would you feel it was very poor taste?
Not meaning to offend anyone btw, more curious as to who would buy this kind of thing.

I'd not send it to anybody and be unimpressed if anybody sent it to me. Its puerile like the person who would send it.

@Nietzschethehiker

I wouldn't be offended but I'd think the sender was puerile and the kind of person that has so little personality they think it's edgy and relevant to attempt to be alternative.

I'd put them in the same box as people who laugh at others for enjoying something mainstream and then avoid them because life's too short to deal with that level of inadequacy.

This, I think you have gotten my point across better than I did.

I dont enjoy toilet humour and this firmly falls within that IMO.

I wouldn't be offended if I got it but nor would I feel it was funny and I would100% feel the person didn't know me at all

dizzydizzydizzy · 18/10/2021 18:22

Weird. I wouldn't be offended but I think it's very strange. I can't think of anyone who would like this card.

NamechangeApril21 · 18/10/2021 18:25

I wouldn't be offended as such, but it would certainly lower my opinion of the sender, and it would be displayed/kept with the rest of my new baby cards

NamechangeApril21 · 18/10/2021 18:25

*wouldn't

1forAll74 · 18/10/2021 18:27

Not even funny, just a poor taste in card buying. I would rip it up, and not display it at all.

MilkywayMonarch22 · 18/10/2021 19:18

It's gross and not funny in my opinion , depends on the relationship though as I've bought my best friend some pretty grim birthday cards as a joke but we wouldn't do that for our baby cards! I think most people understand that after a baby you are fragile and hormonal so a horrid card like this wouldn't go down well for me

Ajl46 · 18/10/2021 19:19

Imagine the poor child finding this card in 18 years' time...

TacoTues · 18/10/2021 19:20

Coming from someone who's laughed at a card that had the 'C' word on it.

This is just weird and unfunny and I can't see any situation where it would be amusing. (Unless of course it's a quote from something and then you'd need to be 100% certain both the sender and recipient were fans. So very niche)

ArabellaScott · 18/10/2021 19:26

It's unfunny, and yes, offensive.

ScienceSensibility · 18/10/2021 19:38

Crass.

So low rent. I would think much less of anyone sending such a card.

offyougotwantychops · 18/10/2021 20:21

Is it Australian by any chance?

Neonplant · 18/10/2021 20:35

It's really naff and tacky but I wouldn't be offended. I'd just judge the person sending it tbh!

flippertyop · 18/10/2021 21:18

Well it wouldn't bother me it would make me laugh but I prefer the sound of the ruined vagina one

ohthestruggles · 18/10/2021 22:21

It's really odd to refer to someone's newborn as a freak..

spongebobscaredypants · 18/10/2021 22:22

Gosh that's sooo fucking rude. Nothing bothers me usually and that's sooo offensive

BaronessOfTheNorth · 18/10/2021 22:40

That is awful! I don't think anyone would find this remotely funny.

logsonlogsoff · 18/10/2021 22:41

It’s just stupid. Not sure if any new mother would find that funny and I like a stupid card in general..

DerAlteMann · 18/10/2021 22:49

There's a line and that crossed it.

Fifthtimelucky · 18/10/2021 23:00

I think it's horrible to describe any child as a freak (even when it's not a real one).

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 18/10/2021 23:05

I wouldn’t buy it and I don’t think many would. I think it’s just someone trying too hard to be shocking.

BudgeSquare · 18/10/2021 23:07

That's the worst drawing I've seen in a long time. Ugly and tasteless, awful line work, horrible colours. Just shit.

UnsuitableHat · 18/10/2021 23:12

Wouldn’t be offended, but you’d have to share a sense of humour to find it funny

LimitIsUp · 18/10/2021 23:47

It's in poor taste
