Sit down, grab some wine, sip a few glasses (8 or 9) re-read the list above, if still legible repeat with more wine. Once the words become unintelligible and you have achieved a mellow state, nothing will any longer offend you!  |

Only by the fact that they felt the need to change "We Three Kings" to "We Three Queens" - what was the point in that?

Let's just say I'm curious and not worked up one way or the other in the least.  Will post more later. |

I thought it was funny. Sort of like the whole "dyslexics of the world untie."

Offended, no. Worried, yes because they all live in my neighborhood!  |

Actually, the only reason to have multiple personalities is because they are different. There's no point or logic to someone having three King or three Queen personalities.
I'm not offended. It seems to miss the marks more than hit them. So cute but not really funny to me. I like the presentation and art work more than the jokes. |

I'm not offended, but I know some folks who suffer from severe mental illness who might be.

My very dyslexic ODS with the awesome sense of humor genuinely just read the above out loud as "dyslexics of the world UNITE" . So, apparently, if he simply reads textbooks filled with spelling errors he'll be all set in college. |

The very first time I met my mother in law, after pleasantries and such, here comes a direct question: "So, tell me! Is there any mental illness in your family? We have a pretty good strain going on in here and wouldn't wanna alter it with anything!" Boy, was she right! And no that is not offensive! But is funy! |

I thought it was mildly funny. Not offended, but probably not a card I would choose to give to anyone.

I have a warped sense of humor, as do a couple of my family members/friends.
While I wouldn't send this card out to everyone on my mailing list, I wouldn't see a problem sending it to those who I know would see the humor in it - and I wouldn't mind receiving it.

I think it's kind of funny. I don't think that you can be REALLY funny without running the rust of offending SOMEONE. It reminds me of something I read in a Heinlein book way back. It's funny because it hurts. <--I'm probably paraphrasing this, but you get the point.

I think it's funny. But I'm also affected by folks with mental illness. So, I personally would not give it.

Oh, puhleeze. Offended? I'm Jewish, middle-aged, overweight and my hair is so big you could hide Rudolph in it. Nothing offends me anymore. Besides, I'm related to everyone on that card. |

Ok. Just curious. I thought it was funny. But then again, my mom is OCD and some of the other ones hit the mark.
But a FB friend found this at a store and complained to the manager and the manager pulled all the cards from the shelf. I can't imagine being that offended at it to complain to a manager, but apparently she was.
This FB friend is very into mental illness awareness and I think her son might be slightly autistic. So that part I appreciate; however I also didn't feel it was so glaringly over the top that it was downright offense. At least to me. Obviously to her it was.
Just curious if I was weird or not. Apparently not (At least in this case).

That feeling you might get when someone asks for free cabbage leaves instead of buying a head of cabbage.
