When you care enough to hit send

Never since the day that BlueMountain.com came into existance has there ever been a better way to send a greeting card.

Until now.

From mildly lewd to wildly inappropriate, someecards.com has brought ironic sincerity to the unenthused world of online greetings.


Think of it like this: Someecards.com is what magnetic poetry is to... poets.

Created by a couple of online advertising creative directors and a solitary art director, someecards.com has the appearance of stemming from humble beginnings but, when you look into it, Brook Lundy is a contributing writer for The Onion News Network (hilarious!), Jerry Tamburro is a talented mofo, and Duncan Mitchell, well he like Burritos.
And, you know what? So do I.
They are...
Delicious.

Delicious like our shared interest in using blogger to host our blogs. It's true... us creative types are on the same wavelength... but, I digress.

Hello, hilarious pervayors of entertaining online greetings. Farewell to resorting to Hallmark's Hoops & Yoyo

Check out Someecards.com and allow the mighty triumverant of online greetings to curate your life with their impeccable wit.

All you need to do is click.

102.1 the edge vs. Facebook

"Just one more click! If I can get like a million people to join in 1 week I'll be laughing! This contest is going to be so easy!"

Welcome to my Facebook addiction - the crack cocaine edition.

It started off like any other 102.1 the edge radio contest although, this time, listeners were invited to create a Facebook Group with the largest number of members to win $7,000.

Who knew that it was going to resort in groups getting shut down, servers getting bogged, and users getting royally pissed! Who knew that it was going to resort in my code red addiction to acquire new members to join. Late night strategy meetings and an intimate understanding of Facebook's terms.

Well, yours truly is in the contest!
Heck with $7,000 in my pocket, I can't deny that it would be very useful to have at this moment in time.

So arm and arm with my tech savvy boyfriend we create a Facebook group, invite our friends, create playlists, quizzes and discussion boards to engage our users. We reveal where we plan to direct the funds including upping my pledge towards my friend's bike ride to Montreal to assist those living with HIV/AIDS and paying off student debt.

We understand that the bottom line of this contest is loads of free advertising for 102.1 the edge. While that doesn't upset me, it has gotten a number of Facebook user's knickers in a knot. With their own backlash groups arising with titles like "No, I will NOT join your 'Help _______ win $7000 from Edge 102.1' Group". While they are obviously getting out their message of unwavering solidarity, they fail to recognize that their group is also contributing to the overall advertising campaign of 102.1 the edge.

In the end, we are all the same.

So while, Matt and I do our best not to spam, to try and find kind hearted folks to join our group outside of Facebook. Short of promising to get a tattoo if we win the contest, we are hoping some faithful Karmacake readers would sign up.

Will you help us out? Good Karma will be had for all! Maybe some cookies at a victory party!! mmm

Hope you help us out. We would love to have you!

On facebook? Are you feeling cool or charitable? HELP US OUT!

Matt and I are not only raging Awesome-holics, but we need your help!

We're in a contest that is trying to create the largest facebook group for the radio station Edge 102.1FM in Toronto. So, we need people, like you, to join our group and help us win!

Portions of the money we win will be given to local charities and we plan on throwing a huge party at Revival in celebration - of course, only if we win.

CLICK HERE TO JOIN

There's one girl ahead of us on facebook with 218 friends... Help us beat her! Join our group, invite your friends and help us win win win!

Just Another Day...

Want for a fork I'm left to eat my pasta with chopsticks and read over the latest headlines.

Vegans Sentanced for Starving Their Baby - New borns are not intended to live on a diet of soy milk and apple juice. Apparently, a Vegan's breast milk is far from being vegan.

Japanese sleep, shelter in cyber cafes - The minimum wage working class are resorting to sleeping in cyber cafes because rent in Tokyo is much to high to cope with.

Soko - I know nothing about her except for she's French, she has a beautiful accent and her song "I'll Kill Her" is in high rotation on my imeem.com playlist.

Spa-tacular!

So you love Winterlicious? You're all about the prix fixe menues? What happens if I told you that now you can have prix fixe at your favorite spas across the GTA?

Yeah, I lost it a little bit as well.

Put the "Duck" Back in SeDUCKtion!!

How was I supposed to know my day of eating pot noodles, booking venues and quelling the hot tempers of collegiate academia was going to result in a phone introduction to the I Rub My Duckie - Paris.

Honestly, any person wearing a feather boa and sporting a Swarovski crystal in it's beak is in fact, up to something sinister - This rubber duck is no exception. Ladies, it's a vibrator - in the shape of a rubber duck.

If going to your local XXX "Love Boutique" was too overwhelming for your sensitive feminine spirit, or ordering questionable items wrapped in discreet brown packaging over the internet was too surreptitious, you now can log onto Modwomen.ca and purchase the "I Rub My Duckie" for less than $50 and feel less like an over sexed porn elf.

Mind you, you'll be riding a rubber duckie, but, at least it doesn't look like a penis! Some may even argue that it's more fun than a conventional vibrator with three vibrating points to stimulate your over 3000 nerve endings on your body. But, who are we kidding? Chances are you're going to be concerned mostly with testing our the vibrating beak, head or tail on one spot in particular and we all know where that isn't located.

The duckie is a perfect gift item if only for its novelty factor and apparent usefulness. Trust me, this is one gift that will keep on giving and won't cause embarrassment when your mum sees it pop out of your underwear drawer. Who's to know that the rubber duckie is your part time lover?

So hop on over to Modwomen.ca and pick up the I Rub Duckie and give yourself a Quackie.

;)

PS - Ernie, your rubber ducky's all grown up now and is making women around the world moan "I Rub My Duckie, You're the One!"
