It showed Nancy Pelosi in bondage, Hillary in a french maid outfit,
Harry Reid being stepped on, and more....you get my drift. It was a
hate for democrats e-card. I wrote to the co. and it's parent co. American

Hello ,

Thank you for contacting BlueMountain.com Customer Service.


Thank you for sharing your feedback on one of the political humor
eCards offered by our online greetings division. As of February 16, the
eCard in question has been removed from our network of personal expression
websites. Our company tracks and considers
all consumer feedback, so your comments have been forwarded to the
people who plan our future online card programs for their review. We will
definitely take your comments into consideration as we develop future
content.

It was never our intention to offend anyone, and we regret any concern
this e-card may have caused. With billions of online and paper cards
sent annually in the U.S., I'm sure you can appreciate the wide variety
of individual tastes that the industry
seeks to meet.

We appreciate the fact that this creative direction is not for
everyone. However, humor is very subjective, and just as preferences in books,
movies, TV programs and stand-up comedy routines vary widely, so do
online card preferences.

Again, thank you for writing. We value hearing about the interests and
concerns of card users.


Thank you,
Joshua M
Your Customer Support Representative

They can try explain this away, but the fact is, a repug employee
made an offensive e-card and should be fired.

1. You guys got the card taken down and that's great.

Maybe what Joshua is also saying here is, if we fire this employee, this is the argument his/her lawyer will make when we're sued for wrongful termination?

2. Did they offer any ecards with Repugs depicted in this way?

If it was only Democrats, then this reply is B.S.

3. They probably would if someone created one.

I thought the card in question was user-created and not created by the website, meaning that, if someone created a silly Valentine's card featuring a Republic in this manner, they would have run it, too.

4. I didn't know that.

I thought the company put them out. I would think that since the content of their service is associated with their name they would screen submissions a bit more closely.

5. The Perverts at Blue Mountain.

They have to be some kind of pervs to be thinking up filth like that, let alone to draw it. What other kind of filth are they interested in? Do they illustrate pornographic comics, too? Maybe they secretly traffic in pornography? I believe they need to be investigated for pornography, and everyone in the surrounding communities need to be informed and be aware that a filth peddler and possible pornographer is in operation in their midst. The churches especially need to be made aware.
