Anyone else find this disturbing?

Here's an unsettling thought... Somewhere, right now, someone is getting paid scads of money rifelling through stock photos of Morbidly obese (400 Lbs+) women and thinking up sick jokes implying said fat women will have sex with the card's recipient for torture. All for a gag greeting card.

Example #1: A huge women, riding a bike, humming.... caption inside: "For your Birthday, I've decided to get you one of those Giant Hummers you were talking about!"

Example #2: 2 Huge Women at a golf course... Caption inside: "For your birthday, I've decided to get you a couple of Big Berthas!" (pretty much the same joke.

Example #3: 4 Huge Women sitting down on a bench.... caption inside: "These girls want to party with you on your Birthday!" (reissued for no apparent reason for Halloween, Birthday party is replaced with Haloween party.)

Now, a jokes a joke, these are mildly amusing at best... but I find it just more disturbing than funny,,, not of course for making fun of fat people (and I'm in horrid shape myself) but the fact someone gets a living making crap like that. And that people buy them.
