It's all about being utterly fucked if you don't know what I'm talking about." I couldn't find the post from his blog, but there are people who've post comments saying they've use that one or others of those card designs and it's helped them tailor their clientèle to people that they're better suited to work with. If you don't like them or find them appropriate for what you do, then that's fine. It should be obvious that it's not for everyone and for a good reason, but not some highschool joke about escort services or drug dealers.

Otherwise, I guess its stylistic. I'm kind of disappointed to hear you don't use it, as it would be interesting to hear if it was successful or not. cheers Matt–I realized that using f@%k on a biz card would be totally appropriate and succcinct if a person is an escort–kind of like a biz card resume–but I guess only if you add an -ing.
