haha, that's hilarious.
Imagine some poor husband in a rush on the eve of his anniversery, he opens it and reads the first few lines seeing their soppy romantic crap and buys it. Oh....good stuff comine his way.

Quite ridiculous indeed.
I'm a big fan of cards that make me laugh when I read them, it's quite a rare thing nowadays.
Though I'm really sure that I missed the meeting where cheating became ok and cool to do.

Well, you can get cards for just about ANYTHING these days...
And Hallmark isn't cheating on anyone, nor are they encouraging anyone to do it.
No, cheating is NOT okay, but a card is just a card....

That's just worthless. Especially if you buy it and the perosn looks at the card. Now that's what I would call a awkward moment.

It's not Hallmark that's making them, it was merely an expression, but apparently some card company is indeed supporting adultery, albeit indirectly.

Haha, nice....A guy going to the counter and purchasing that card would be more embarrassed than if he was buying tampons.

Hmm..I do that a lot, actually. I'm cool with it, but taking a card addressing my "secret lover"? That's ****ed up, and only goes to show how jaded society really is now.

I have no problem with people who are not monogomous. Whatever floats your boat. But adultery implies that someone who had made a marriage agreement, or an agreement of mutual monogamy, and then broke that agreement.
Making a card that celibrates deeds of mistrust, in this case adultery, is pretty lame.
Hence my "jump the shark" comment.

Well but that's the other side...the Card is for people in love with a Married part....therefore the card sender didn't agree to that commitment.....so I don't see a problem with that card.....and even if, yes they agreed but if they don't want it anymore that should be ok today.
I agree that breaking such a contract could be considered immoral but the card is not....

I think cheating is wrong in any way.
If you commit to someone then break that for someone else and something trivial, then that's unbelievably low.
I agree with you though.

so a card commemorating and glorifying an immoral act is fine?
how about a "congratulations on your first murder" card?
