I’ve always enjoyed getting humorous greeting cards on special occasions over the more serious type of cards, perhaps that’s because I enjoy a good laugh.
If you like funny ecards as much as I do you’ll probably love Vidigreet.
You can find all kinds of ecards – Birthday, Congrats, Valentine, holiday and then there’s off beat ecards such as ones in the “messing with you”, “Lets Hook Up”, “You Blow”, “Call Me’ and “I’m Sorry” categories.
I spent some time on the site browsing through the selection of ecards and I have to say they are very different than what you’ll find at other ecard sites. These greetings are like short movies, or comedy shorts and they are HILARIOUS.
I watched this one Happy Birthday ecard where a guy was sitting in a washroom stall and discovered that there was only one sheet of toilet paper on the roll, so being alone in the public washroom he snuck out of his stall to go and get more toilet paper from another toilet stall. However, that was when all of his co-workers happened to walk into the washroom to surprise him for his birthday saying “You didn’t think we’d forget, did you?”.
It wasn’t something I could totally see happening in real life, but close enough.
If you like off beat, sometimes adult – but not X-rated – humor, or rather if you know others that will like the ecards that you send them you’ve got to check out Vidigreet.
You’ll need to join Vidigreet in order to send ecards. There are three levels of membership. One option is a free membership where you’ll be able to send the weekly featured Vidigreet for free, another option allows you to send an unlimited amount of Vidigreet ecards for a day, and then there’s the one year membership that allows you to send an unlimited amount of ecards for a whole year.
Take a moment and visit the Vidigreet site. I think you’ll enjoy the ecards.

The artwork created by a notorious Canadian killer is being offered for sale on an American website called Murderabilia which promotes criminals as celebrities.
At least half a dozen pieces of artwork produced by cult killer Roch Theriault at the Dorchester Penitentiary in New Brunswick are up for auction on MurderAuction.com.
Items like oil paintings, signed hand prints, pastels and even short poems written and colored by Theriault are up for bid.
Theriault is serving a life sentence after being convicted of brutal murder in 1993. He was the charismatic leader of a tiny religious group near Burnt River, Ontario between 1977 and 1989. Theriault chopped off the hands of one of his concubines and killed his wife by disemboweling her.
The art being auctioned is abstract or contains inoffensive images such as flowers, and dates from October and November 2007. Minimum bids range from US$20 to US$500.
The three-year-old website is one of the earliest to create a specialized marketplace for crime memorabilia, which has generally been banned from mainstream sites such as EBay.
MurderAuction.com founder Tod Bohannon makes no apologies, saying it’s merely a branch of the well-established hobby of collecting celebrity autographs.
Bohannon, 30, began collecting criminals’ signatures at age 13, when he first wrote to notorious prisoners. His large collection now includes a few choice Theriault pieces, as well as some prison memorabilia from Canadian child-murderer Clifford Olsen.
His advice for crime victims who might object to the website? “If my site’s hurting you, just don’t go to it.”
Theriault is still visited regularly by some of his former cult “wives,” who have moved to New Brunswick to be close to him and have borne him more children following conjugal visits.
What do you think of a site like this selling so called artwork created by notorious American and Canadian killers? I think it’s sick and disgusting.
