Stores 'ashamed' to sell religious cards... but obscene ones litter the High Street
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...gh-street.html
I wouldn't exactly say that they 'litter the high street' that seems a bit of an exaggeration but it is probably not a good sign for the world when this happens. |
Supermarkets are usually quite mercinary and will sell whatever people buy most of, I would say its more likely that the demand for religious cards has decreased. 70% of the population may well be christian, but it will be to varying degrees and doesn't necessarily mean they will buy religious cards

Nothing more than basic economics. Demand = supply.
That's the way it is: that's what people demand these days, that's what they get. |

What struck me was the contrast between the two, religious to obscene it seems to have gone from from one extreme to another

I gave an explanation as to why it is what it is: If you don't want discussion on it, why create the thread? |

Religion is far more obscene than a rude sentiment on a card.
Religion is the cause of death of millions of people around the world every year!! how many people died as a result of a rude card??? |
you're right this thread isn't about you so why have you tried to turn it into a thread about you?

Bobnot has got it spot on. How many people died because of a rude / obscene greetings card......unless it was from dying laughing. |

Meh Christmas is more secular and commercial now than it is religious anyway, and tbh a lot of Christmas traditions aren't even really Christian

The statistics speak for themselves, if people aren't buying them then the supermarkets won't stock them. Its just bad business sense. |
Typical Daily Mail rubbish, I'm surprised they didn't try to fit in a jab at muslims somewhere in that article. I've never seen nor been given a religious christmas card ever, for a lot of people Christmas isn't about religion it's about comercialism so it's no surprise to see that supermarkets don't opt to sell many religious themed cards because they probably don't sell that well in comparison to the more secular type of cards.
That article is terrible though, typical stirring nonsense from a paper made only to enrage gullible idiots. |
