This Dutch advertisement card features a likeness of Disney's Princess Jasmine with a black eye and bruised (and possibly slightly bloody lip and nose). The Dutch says:"They lived happily ever after?"

The card is an anti-domestic violence card. It came in an envelop with a few other cards and these awesome cards.
