New greeting cards cater to cheaters (adultery.)

http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/latestnews/stories/052605dnwebaffaircards.2ae12afa2.html

A new line of greeting cards could help fan the flames of infidelity. The collection, which will be available in June, speaks to the uniqueness of such relationships, giving lovers the opportunity to recognize holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, apologies, hookups and breakups.

One holiday card reads, “As we each celebrate with our families, I will be thinking of you.” Another card laments: “I used to look forward to the weekends, but since we met, they seem like an eternity."

Using discreet labeling to protect clandestine cupids, the cards will be sold online and in boutiques, but likely not in mainstream grocery stores and card shops.

Barbara Miller, a spokeswoman for the Greeting Card Association, said she has seen many niches evolve in the industry, like cards made specifically for the gay community, some even more expressly for the gay, black community.

Who the hell wants to leave written evidence of this kind around where their spouse might find it? Stupid!!

There is probably a huge niche market for it. whoever said people were smart?

2. Reminds me...
....of the incredibly demeaning "Mahogany" line for black women.
