Maybe I'm in the minority, but these cards aren't clever or funny. A lot of the cards/notes are too long and wordy... like when someone tells a joke wrong and the punch line is lost in the translation.
Take the parking notes:
1. I hope you’re having a lovely day! Just wanted to give you a quick and friendly note to let you know you park like an asshole!
2. On behalf of more intelligent and respectful people everywhere, please stop parking like a jerk. Thank you in advance.
3. Newsflash! It is not you, terrible driver, around which the sun revolves. Try parking like a normal person next time.
4. I guess a person needs a lot more intelligence than you have to avoid parking sideways like that.
I guess the receiver may be insulted if they're still awake by the time they finish reading.
Her avatar says something like "We make smart people laugh", but I can tell her that I am a smart person and her cards most definitely don't make me laugh.

Calpix... you just made my day! :)
June 5, 2010 at 10:16:00 AM EDTI don't think she's funny, either.
June 5, 2010 at 11:16:00 AM EDTwasn't a promo uh?
June 5, 2010 at 11:21:00 AM EDTcalpix, you said exactly what I was thinking.

But what do you expect from a copycat?
As amusing as hemorrhoids.
June 5, 2010 at 5:13:00 PM EDTI'll go on the record as saying that NeatThings is the single most irritating person on the forums. And I must not be smart, because I'm not laughing.
June 5, 2010 at 11:03:00 PM EDTI love her latest closed thread asking why it's important to disclose all your Etsy accounts. Too bad her cards aren't as funny as that!
June 7, 2010 at 5:14:00 PM EDTI agree with calpix. I know someone who, when she speaks, sounds just like those cards. She also thinks she's funny... but she's not.
