The evolution of the e-card

I’ve always thought e-cards were a bit strange. Now they have become quite a bit stranger: you can send a “you may have caught an STD from me” e-card to your friend, bishop, whatever.

For the immoderate sower of wild STD oats, you can send a card to six people at once, along with a personal message –  something touching like “Thank you for being part of my life and if you’ve seen any unusual lumps or sores, lately, I might know why.”

From here:

The e-cards, which can be sent anonymously, are pithy and to the point.

“Sometimes there are strings attached,” reads one. “I got diagnosed with STDs since we were together. Get checked out soon.”

Another says: “It’s not what you brought to the party, it’s what you left with. I left with an STI. You might have, too. Get checked out soon.”

E-cards can be sent to up to six partners at a time, and users have the option of including a personal message.
