Quick Chuckle or Risky Business? A Look at "Defamations" Birthday Cards
Ever seen a birthday card that's more savage than sweet? Chances are, you've encountered the world of "Defamations" birthday cards or something similar. This isn't your typical sentimental greeting.
"Defamations" is actually a brand that leans into "naughty, rude, irreverent, funny and wicked" messages. Their aim is to "delight, demean and defame" – all in the name of a good laugh, usually by "taking the piss out of friends and family." Think blunt jokes, swear words, and humour that definitely pushes the envelope.
Why the Appeal?
In a sea of generic wishes, these cards stand out. They cater to friendships built on banter and a love for the less-than-serious. They can be a hilarious way to acknowledge a birthday, if you know your audience.
A Word of Warning...
Before you send a card joking that your mate is an “old ???” make sure they'll actually find it funny. What's hilarious to one person can be genuinely offensive to another. The goal is a birthday laugh, not a falling out!
So, "Defamations" and similar edgy cards? They're a specific flavour of humour. If it suits your friend's taste, it can be a hit. Just choose wisely!
