Flatulence Delivering Cards

Fart By Mail Sends Fellow Friends and Enemies a Stinky Prank

— November 30, 2012 — Unique
Fart by Mail cards are great for birthdays, holidays or any other regular day one wishes to play a prank on another.

Encased in a clear glamorous polyethylene envelope is a glossy seemingly sweet and humorous greeting card. Unbeknownst to the receiver, the Fart by Mail card literally delivers the stinking stench of fart that "smells like real poo" and is accompanied by none other than the "heinous sound" of open flatulence. Be wary of receiving a suspicious package in the mail though. These ironic greeting cards are great for the party poopers out there who just don't want to celebrate their birthdays or holidays. In case one does receive these cheesy messages, you might want to allow a friend to open it for you.
Trend Themes
1. Prank Delivery Services - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a wider array of prank delivery services to provide people with more options for provoking humor in others.
2. Scent-based Greeting Cards - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a line of more pleasant smelling greeting cards using technology to infuse a variety of pleasing scents that go beyond florals and fruit scents.
3. Remote Controlled Prank Devices - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop remote controlled prank devices that can be activated from a distance and go beyond the simple pleasure of a fart card.
Industry Implications
1. Greeting Card Industry - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Re-think the traditional ways of communicating emotions with friends and family by exploring new formats, sizes and materials in card production.
2. Entertainment Industry - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create fresh and bold comedic content aimed at generating laughter and emotional responses from audiences, in an age where people get desensitized to old fashioned types of humor.
3. Prank Industry - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Expand the prank industry beyond limited options such as whoopee cushions and hand buzzers, by using new and emerging technologies to develop more sophisticated, yet affordable prank devices.
