Current mood: offensive/offended
At work, all the departments send out Christmas cards, often related to the type of work they do. Most of them are dull black-and-white photocopies of some sort of lame clip art. These "cards" suck ass. My department hadn't put anything together so my co-worker was informally assigned the task of making something.
She was stumped so I gave her something I found on my friend's page. It was Christmasy, but when we put it together she wasn't sure if people would think it tasteless. It had OJ Simpson holding a Christmas ham with a selection of dinner items and a big grin on his face with the caption "Christmas fits me like a glove"... and put a note inside about us being tastefully entertaining. Everyone who saw it laughed like crazy. Some said they weren't sure all recipients would appreciate our humour. It was axed by our department head. I was sorta pissed because I was offended by the shitty cards we got and no one stopped those from being sent out. With no other choice and a slight grudge, I put something else together.
I found a photo of Jackie Chan fake-biting the pudgy cheek of a small child. The caption: "What are you eating this holiday season?" Lame, yes. Some could call it offensive, sure. But when you don't let me send out OJ this is the shit you get. For some reason this was still deemed offensive, but less so than the previous card. I expect someone is going to be offended regardless, but, really, what do they expect? We're degenerates.
