"They sent us letters. They phoned it in. They asked their retailers, you know, in their neighborhood, where do I find a card that says this?” Hallmark Creative Director Derek McCracken told NPR. “And again, loss of job, like any loss, is a grieving process. And so we have to acknowledge as soon as possible what had happened and then try to support them. So that's where we kind of offer more cards on the, you'll get through this, versus dwelling on the loss of the job itself.”

A perfect occasion for an audio greeting card.

>>> I hope the marketing/creative director is looking to Nov 2011 and have one for Hussein ready to go...**Losing a job is just plain painful. So I want you to remember I’m in your cheering section ... PFFT!::raspberry::**

Oh man, that’s great - definitely needs to be an audible card!

I’m unemployed. Have been for about eight years now.

Still my fault?
