Is it just me or does it seem some what wrong to send someone a card when a loved one dies?

Last night I had this discussion with a friend and with Sam (the checkout girl at Best Buy) and apparently this is a normal social function. 

Someone dies and then their friends send them cards showing their sympathy. It just seems like slap in the face to me.

Like when someone gets a shitty job and they get told, “Well, it’s a job!”

I know it’s a shitty job, sorry I’m not flying to moon and giving an alien a high five, which is incidentally on my list of things to do before I die along with eating at as many pizza parlors as I can and riding as many different roller coasters.

Point being, it just seems a little fucked up; sending me a card because my Uncle Juan died.

I have heard of food being brought to people but not cards. Perhaps I’m in the wrong, but I don’t want a morbid card that i have to display for any length of time. Call me or come see me but don’t send a card. Cards are reserved for birthdays, promotions, or beating Super Mario on one try.

But Kudos to Hallmark for capitalizing on the deaths of our loved ones like this. It’s like when Toby Keith capitalized on 9/11 with his song “Red, White & Blue.”

Bottom Line: Just send me a stripper and I’ll be fine!
