Hallmark used suicidal threats in Valentine's Day cards

This is quite possibly the greatest Hallmark card ever made. That is, if it's real.

Check out this Valentine's Day card (see it all after the jump) apparently from the 1950s showing a lovelorn skunk holding a pistol to his head and threatening to pull the trigger if you won't love him. As if that threat weren't enough, the skunk has a noose wrapped around his neck and attached to a boulder that he's threatening to drop off a dock into deep water. The cards tagline: "I'll be sunk if you won't be my Valentine!"

Has anyone seen other Hallmark cards as fantastic as this? Since the card has gone viral, maybe execs from Hallmark owned Crown Center can dig up the card and send it to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, who are considering bolting Crown Center after 10 years. Without them, Crown Center will be sunk.
