The other day I blogged about the state of the Web in 1998 (and how local TV stations appear to be stuck in a lame time warp). Today, I'll tell you about a highly inappropriate, but hilarious, Web site that takes a decade-old concept and makes it funny as hell.
The site is called someecards.com, and their tag line should give you a little insight into what you'll find there: "When you care enough to hit send."
We all remember those lame-ass, free e-greeting cards we received, um, every day, back in the late '90s. Get this: excite.com even bought bluemountain.com for like a zillion dollars (actually it was $780 million, but who's counting?) on the fad value alone. Ah, the salad days of the early Internets.
(Side note: What's excite.com up to these days? Oh yeah, nothing.)
Anyhoo, someecards.com takes online greeting cards and makes them great again. Here are some of the safe-for-work cards I can mention:
I could go on and on, but the best cards are the ones I can't print in this "family" publication.
Of course, all cards come with cheesy, black and white (and strangely appropriate) clip art.
I highly suggest you send your loved one a card today. And thanks, co-worker Caroline, for pointing this out to me. I hope you enjoyed that NSFW card I just sent you.
