Thrillist Los Angeles
Emailed on: Tuesday October 7, 2008Cerebral Itch
Thursday's the Jewish day of atonement, when half of LA will resolve to do things better next year by strengthening current relationships and healing damaged ones -- in the process alienating many with sappy greeting cards. Skip the sentiment, with cards from Cerebral Itch.
A cleverly inappropriate locally based e-card purveyor, Cerebral's attitude's best summed up by their motto, "Yes, people still send cards -- I know, shocking". Among those most likely to pleasingly distress, presented outside/inside:
- Romance: "You and me need to take a stab at making some p**n/You have to admit, it's better than: 'I don't know, what do you want to do'."
- Birthday: "Please let me know if the $100 cash inside this card made it through the mail okay/If not, I'll just take it from the money you still owe me anyway, Happy Birthday."
- Break-up/Divorce: "Peeing is nature's way of cleaning out the body's toxins/So I guess I'm sort of peeing you, adios peepee."
Cerebral also offers most cards on old-fashioned paper -- so when you send someone "Low light and makeup were your options a year ago...now, I don't know what to tell you", their dismay will be offset by their appreciation that this year, you licked a stamp for them.
It's the thought that counts at CerebralItch.com
