This silly Christmas card from Tay Ham reads "Merry Christmas Ya Filthy Animal." The phrase is accompanied by a cheeky illustration of one reindeer mounting another. Needless to say, this card is far from appropriate for children!
You might remember the infamous line from the movie 'Home Alone,' which is centered around a tenacious eight-year-old who defends his home from an attempted burglary. In the film, Macaulay Culkin's character Kevin uses the line, also from a film, to trick the bad guys. The line originally appeared in 1938 film 'Angels with Dirty Faces,' starring James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart.
If you know someone who's been a little naughtier than nice this holiday season, they'll definitely appreciate the crass humor of this comical Christmas card.
