Clintons' Christmas Comedy Card Cockup
Other | Monday 8th December 2014 |
Clintons are currently embroiled in a scandal involving a Christmas card delineating the 10 reasons that Santa must live on a council estate. Dubbed the most tastless card of this year, social networks have ignited with all-round outrage at the class prejudice jokes that nobody found funny. Clintons have since apologised on twitter for their moumental festive blunder, but the public are saying this is too little too late and call for more action to be taken.
According to Clintons, among the pretty outrageous reasons why Santa must live on an estate are: he only works one day a year; no one has ever seen him doing his job; he drinks on the job; he wears the same old out-of-fashion clothes that he never washes; and he has a serial record of breaking and entering. It is not hard to see why this card has caused such furore, but it is difficult to work out just how this card got past the drawing board and on to our shelves. Not that anybody buys their cards from Clintons anyway (who even buys Christmas cards any more?).
