My only birthday card

Wow, what a sad sad sign of my lonely old age.

I got a nice birthday card from Marlboro. They congratulated me on living another year and offered me some discounts on more death sticks.

Does anyone find this disturbing?

While I’m at it, I got another incredibly disturbing Happy New Year’s email from the Philip Johnson Glass House.

Here’s a screenshot of the email, Can you tell me why I didn’t like it?

Well, if you don’t feel like guessing, I’ll just tell you. A greeting is one thing and a solicitation is a completely separate thing. The NTHP sends out the DONATE NOW emails just about every week. I took this email as notice that the National Trust has more interest in their own happy new year than mine. I won’t be participating this year. Greed has an ugly face… and mine came disguised as a greeting.
