Given the power of social media to brands, even relatively small companies will have (or outsource) such people.

What's wrong with vloggers? Lots of great content on YouTube made by very professional people.

Dunno. And I don't know why I read the article substituting card for T-shirt.
Anyway, it's still not funny as a joke card. It's a bit feeble init

Joys sells a lot of cards like that. I am reluctant to describe something as vulgar but that's what their cards are all about

Any other examples?
I made a comment about the behaviour of a female tv character calling her a cow and got the third degree.
Yet people on this thread take the piss out of bipolar and noone bats an eyelid while showering abuse on anyone that responded negatively to the card.
Only on Urban!

Who on this thread has taken the piss out of bipolar? Who has showered abuse on anyone that responded negatively to the card?

It's just so naff and unfunny. Like that guardian tripe about radio 4 and opera. It can't even rise to the level of offensiveness. And then the desperate for a career unpaid interns at the independent convince what's left of what's above them to run this bollocks about something they saw on the internet (as as this authors stories are - or better, amalgams of other existing writing).

It was widely reported, not just by the Independent

I do not know! I've never heard of this place before. A bit like the bog standard card but pushing the envelope a bit.
Anyway i'm with wells, you're all cunts and i hope you all get cancer for your despicable behaviour.

And that's all the independent journo could get out of it? 200 words and a lot of pics? (all the other stories sem to be EXACTLY THE SAME with a variant of the same author's name by-lined).
There's a joke on p1 for starters.
Then people who vlog are 'twats with webcams'.
honestly, this is priceless!

You mean the knob ignored by all because they don't represent the wider opinion on here - alan? Try again.There's a joke on p1 for starters.

Walked up Kingsway the other day and it's all coffee shops and card shops - it's enough to get anyone depressed, what a waste of money and what utter crap... was glad to get on the train

Notice Joy don't make comedy cards about cancer. Cos y'know it's kind of shite to laugh at other peoples suffering. Unless they're mad of course, then it's fucking hilarious.

So many particulars. So many questions.
see in the back of bizarre magazine they used to sell t shirtsstyled like a band tour t-shirt 'Hitler world tour' with dates and list of invaded places. A t-shirt with shipman in a bandana with the legend 'old dear hunter'
etc.
thats harsh.
It does seem that mental illness is more mainstream fair game though. Maybe it crosses the line because of its specific nature? we here and in the wider world call people loon or mad or whatever but focusing on a specific condition edges it into 'hang on a mo'
