Quote:
Shoppers and campaigners have expressed their revulsion at the cards, which they say are an example of how far "vulgarity" has affected British life.
Most of the cards make liberal use of the f-word. One shows a traditional image of Jesus beneath which is printed a crude joke involving genitalia. ...One of the cards on sale shows three men holding placards bearing the slogans "Merry Christmas ------", "Merry ------- Christmas" and "Merry Christmas ------". Another shows a pensioner standing next to a Christmas tree with the message: "Have a ------- miserable Christmas."
One range of cards, from a design company which boasts the name Offensive plus Delightful, uses trendy designs married to crude slogans such as "Happy ----ing New Year" and "Resolutions . . . ---- 'em!"
