Yes I remember that card - (I didn't write it unfortunately) it caused a small storm of controversy and was removed. I've had quite a few of my cards complained about. One was a fairly standard card about becoming a teenager and the joke was about getting zits. We then got a strongly-worded complaint from the National Acne Association (I kid you not), saying how a serious condition should not be made fun of. I think on that occasion the complaint so ridiculous it was ignored.
Another card of mine that raised Hell was one that suggested that Ginger people were freckle-faced, Duracell-headed, sun-dodging freaks with bad tempers and no sense of humour. Some gingers complained, thus proving the theory.
Seriously though, comedy, in whatever form, is by its very nature going to offend some people. I just wish companies (I'm looking at you, BBC) wouldn't be such spineless wimps and cave in to the bandwagon-jumping busybodies.
Lee just a quick question if you don't mind,
Say if I sent a company an idea and they liked it couldn't they just nick it and use it without letting me know/paying me a penny?
Has that ever happened to you?

No. It's not worth the hassle for the companies involved and word would soon get around, causing the decent copywriters to boycott them. Plus £150 to a reputable card company is the tiniest drop in the ocean to them and not worth the subterfuge. Plus it's illegal. They just don't do it.
