...These are the cards that you're looking for. Who needs fluffy bunny cards to beat around the bush when Julie Jackson's Subversive Cross Stitch notecards tell it like it is.

Great for so many occasions. I hope this is the start of a revolution. Surely the next set will have my favorite design from the Subversive Cross Stitch book, which is "Have a Nice Life." There are so many people i'd like to send THAT to.

... send something Subversive instead!

If you're all serious and sentimental and not the least bit cynical, move on. In fact, move on IMMEDIATELY! This stuff is not for you!

But if you're cynical and sarcastic and, well, just a smart-ass, you need this box of cards. Seriously! Know someone who's not too keen on getting older? Perfect opportunity to send a "Happy F@#%&ing Birthday" card. Or if a friend is going through a tough romance, commiserate with a "Love Stinks" card.

See? So useful for modern living! You really ought to have a box handy - I do!
