“While lesser designers settle for gilded edges, pillow embossing, and premium fonts for their visual identity, my business card is unto itself an interactive experience nearly as exciting as working with me on a contract project.”

We watched this episode of “My Name Is Earl” the other day, and it might have been one of the greatest half hours of television that I’ve seen in my life. (apparently removed due to a copyright claim – try here instead)
