Christmas Cards For The Great Depression 2

[Fully Detached]

Apologies if posted before - I was browsing Moonpig for some Christmas cards yesterday and came across this little range:

Depressing Times Christmas Cards

The inside reads:

Have a Great Depression

and a Hungry New Year!

Leaves me wondering what sort of person would send a card like that, and who to? Pity there's not one of a cash filled wheelbarrow - I'd love to send one to Mervyn King.

Anybody who can afford to spend £2.99 on a piece of folded cardboard hasn't hit austerity yet.

Scrooge?

That's the spirit

That is funny......

I'm sending these this year.

They have robbed the man lying on the ground in the middle card of his dignity. Yes, I know he is probably long dead but that is not the point.

Moonpig is profitting from abusing his diginity.

Fairly ironic really since this site is packed to bursting with people like that

[rented]

QE is for life, not just for Christmas

[Redcellar]

We wish you a merry christmas, we wish you a merry christmas, we wish you a merry christmas, and forget the new year. You've never bothered planning for the future anyway, you feckless moron.

or

jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way. Oh what fun it is to find your money's gone away.

Personally I liked the post that said sending photo copied cards. I think I'll do that.

A serious question, did the three wise men bring Credit Default Swaps, Frankincense and Myrrh?

Oh, little Bank Americard

You bring me Christmas Cheer

Without your clout

I have no doubt

No gifts I'd give this year.

Your credit line allows me

To run up bills quite large

And when I'm through

Exhausting you

I'll use my Master Charge.

(Same tune, sung in late February)

Oh, little Bank Americard

You bring me discontent

I calculate

Your int'rest rate

Is over twelve percent.

Each month, your cry for payments

My letter-box bombards;

I'm one more sap

Caught in your trap

Next year I'll just send cards.
