Greeting Cards aka Schumcks waste money

Have you purchased a greeting card of any type recently ?  They are everywhere. In gift shops, super markets, drug stores, gas stations, clothing stores, in fact , almost everywhere including card stores.  Why do you suppose this is so ?  Well, I am going to tell you..  Hallmark, and all the makers of cards have finally realized that we, the consumers of America, are all a bunch of Schumcks. Schumcks  We are completely stupid people for paying from $2.29 to $7.99 (more in Canada) for all these stupid cards.
     Now there are cards that talk to you, sing to you, eject stuff at you. There are cards that do everything but make you breakfast for that occasion you are sending them for.
     There are special cards for Indians, blacks, Asians, midgets, fat people, skinny people, ugly people, young people, old people,  for invitations, social occasions, special events, and the best is for all this ridiculous make believe holidays these companies have made up over the years for the sole purpose of selling more cards.
      But what happens when someone does receive one of these wonderful cards?  I am sure they are neatly displayed somewhere for 24 hours and then trashed.  Why would I want a card for Earth Day, or any of these stupid holidays that I never heard of.
      I want a card for the opening of the NFL season, for my birthday, and that is it.  Who really wants a card for their anniversary ?  Unless of course you want to be reminded of how miserable you are.
     I have a suggestion for Hallmark.  Make a card for me and others like me that reads. " Thank you for spending $3.99 for this dumb ass card that I am sending to someone I really don't like, for an occasion that I am really not sure of ".  Or better yet..............send me a TM or post it on FB.
