FINCHandHARE'S Hilarious Greeting Cards Appear Mean but Are Rather Kind

— September 24, 2014 — Pop Culture
While these hilarious greeting cards by FINCHandHARE may appear rude and uncalled for, they are actually rather sweet once opened by their recipient. Slogans like "Your life is over", "You are awful" and "Kill me now" are just some of the unkind messages that adorn the front panels of these greetings.

Once opened, messages like "You are Awful" are transformed into "You are awesome and wonderful" and revealed to be kind and sentimental rather than rude.

FINCHandHARE's hilarious greeting cards are available on the company's Esty web shop and are sure to become a hit among sarcastic humorists and individuals with an appreciation for dark humor. Though they appear mean at first glance, these fun cards are actually sweet and kind-hearted.
