Apparently supposed to appeal to male chauvinist pigs.

I have a set of plastic Kemcards. Yeah, they last forever, but they suck. It's like playing cards with pieces of slate. There's not enough friction when you hold them, especially with 13 cards, so you wind up with hand cramps.

The tone of the ad makes you think the cards had naked ladies printed on them.

I got some cards like that for my girlfriend's father, and they lasted a long time, but the designs started wearing off.
