Cards for the adulterers

[Wildcard Ky]

Now there's a line of greeting cards for that special someone you're having an affair with.

Only in America. LOL

Adulterers need cards too

"Cards for the adulterers"

I believe someone needs to think things through here. You do not rent a billboard [not even a small one] to advertise a secret affair.

JMHO.

I wonder if she's made any money off this yet? It would certainly make for an interesting reply to the question, "So, what do you do for a living?"

I love this:

Gallagher says in her Bethesda office, where the walls are painted red and pink. "Look at how many people on soap operas are having affairs. That's real.

Yeah, soap operas are real. Every one of my friends is a rich doctor, lawyer, politician or drug dealer. And they all have had amnesia at least 3 times, had 4 rare tropical diseases, been blackmailed 34 times by ex lovers and they all have been believed dead at least 3 times.

I wonder if she'll start doing, "For My Wife, I love you, but I'm having an affair" cards too. And, "You have my deepest sympathies, but I want a divorce."

And maybe a whole section for "I'm Sorry, I Fucked Up" cards.

I voted Who Cares, but that was only so far as the relative morality goes --- people will commit adultery and they have to communicate, too, but . . .

R.R. was on the right track when he suggested a rethink.

Like, where where would you send it :

His place? His wife will have to accidentally open it, to learn all.

His Business? When his secretary opens his mail she will certainly have something to talk over at the water cooler!

Your seedy hotel, where you rend a room every Thursday between 2:45 and 5:15? Kind of redundant at that point, isn't it?

And it would have to be women that bought it. Except for obligitory occassions, no woman has received a card from a man that didn't accompany flowers, or were intended as an application to get out of the dog house. At least none that I have ever heard tell of.

If a man ever should send a card to a woman, he would be breaking the first rule of adultery = Never put anything in writing! If he breaks that rule, he will never be able to break up with her, unless she wishes it.

An all-around fumble-witted project.


The only reason I can think of why Gallagher would agree to such a nutty project, is that he HAD been caught cheating, and this was his wife's method of punishing him.

Don't write anything down, never take any pictures. In the event of being caught - Deny, deny, deny.

These cards are a bad idea. That doesn't mean they won't sell, but I wouldn't buy one.

. . . perhaps I shouldn't have an affair?

Well. Not an extramarital one at any rate.

At least not until you learn the rools!

I gave the idea some thought, Wildcard. It sounds like a million dollar idea, but I doubt it captures much market. The use of one of those cards constitutes a paper trail. Adultery, properly conducted, is sneaky. No one's going to appreciate receiving one of these. No one is going to sign one. The sentiments are dead on, but an adulterer would have to be a fool into the bargain to so expose herself and to simultaneously expose the recipient.

edited: Everyone else thought of this, too. Good. Fewer fools than I thought. I especially like V-B's careful point-by-point rant. Experience??

 

[McKenna]

I wonder if setting up a marketing campaign for these cards in the "Loving Wives" section of Lit would be profitable?

 

[cantdog]

There are a good many fools reading in the category, McKenna. Drunk tanks in the county jails might be good for the same reason. Any judgement-free group of people might bite.

 

[McKenna]

Then they should market them at sites like Literotica, methinks. Or other porn-related chat/forum sites. I just thought with Loving Wives (cheating wives, or so I understand the category to be) it might be a good place to start a marketing campaign. *shrug*


Edited bit: On a second reading of your post, I think you were agreeing with me Cantdog. Oops, my bad.

 

[Virtual_Burlesque]

If there was a erg of merit in this idea, no doubt Ashley Madison would already be marketing it.




And, no Cant, not experience, observation.

I'm happy for people making a buck, feeding their families.

But this is pretty creepy.

I would hope we wouldn't celebrate adultery.

Yeah!

If we can't even feel dirty and ashamed, what's the point?

 

[McKenna]

Yeah!

Oh shit. I think I checked my conscience at the door.


You mean this isn't www.disney.com?!




Sarahh: Celebrate adultery? Haven't you read anything from the Loving Wives category?!

 

[Guest]

Yeah!

Hey. There's fucking, and there's fucking.

I'm pleased to say my husband and I enjoy the latter.

Just 'cause you're married doesn't mean the sex is wholesome and pure, baby.

 

[Virtual_Burlesque]

. . . Just 'cause you're married doesn't mean the sex is wholesome and pure, baby.

Not if you know what you're doing.

 

[Guest]

Not if you know what you're doing.

Exactly.

Done properly, sex is positively filthy.

 

[CharleyH]

So, remind me again? WHY ARE we all here on a Friday, at midnight, if sex is so good?

 

[Virtual_Burlesque]

Worse than dueling Chocolate Fountains!

Mr McKenna is away again. Amsterdam this time.
