Current event humor or sleazy?
Discuss.
Tacky and tasteless. How sad.

Things like this make me extremely embarrassed to be an Etsy seller. I don't advertise my Etsy shop anymore. This person is so sleazy and should be ashamed of themselves.

A serious lack of integrity. Tacky.

Some people will do anything for a sale. Copy someone, knock off a copyright, make light of a disease -- sure, why not?

How about a personalized handmade shroud or coffin pillow for people who die from swine flu? it's all about the bucks, dontcha know?

On second thought, after looking more closely, I think this belongs on the uglythingsforsale blog.

Way to take advantage of the situation. If a portion of the proceeds were donated, it might be better. But they aren't.
I'm usually good with offensive humor, but this is just tacky.

This is my favorite comment:
"We've got a smart one, there. They sewed through it, making it about as effective a barrier* as a bedazzled condom."
"bedazzled condom" LMAO!

I think it's pretty funny, especially since the CDC has repeatedly said that face masks are not helpful at preventing transmission. I don't know if the seller intended it to be satire, but I appreciate it as such.
Who cares? September 16, 2009 at 7:05 PM
