If you’re the type who still likes to send greeting cards to people, especially the ones you hate, there may be no better way to say what’s on your mind, than with Gordon Ramsay’s Insult Cards.
Brought to us by Alex Finnis over at BuzzFeed, the usually benign piece of folded cardstock now becomes a perfect way to passive-aggressively eviscerate your enemies.
Whether they are truly a “F@cking Donkey,” an “Idiot Sandwich,” or deserve a “kick in the nuts,” Ramsay’s zingers will help do the talking for you. Just like Hallmark does on Valentine’s Day.

Stripping fruits of their natural color, artist Dewey Saunders and photographer Andre Rucker created Produce Illusion.
Saunders and Rucker’s choice to make the produce desaturated and monochromatic adds an interesting visual element — while the fruits remain easily recognizable by shape and texture.
They also toy with gravity, stacking these re-colored fruits into beautiful sculptures.
