LAS VEGAS -- How does a non-tech company get in on the tech-heavy world of International CES? Build an enormous booth, send out a slick marketing video and get Nick Offerman to make an appearance.
At Thursday's American Greetings press event, people lined up to see a new product the card company promoted as "a device like no other."
The device in question: Just a paper greeting card. American Greetings, you trolled us all.

Offerman, an avid woodworker, feels like a natural fit for a campaign launch that highlights old-fashioned "technology."
Indeed, Offerman says he grew up in a card-giving family and it's a tradition he's kept with his wife.
"When I started dating my wife -- her name is Megan Mullally, she's a very beautiful actress and singer and goddess -- she and I loved giving each other cards," he told a crowd at the press event. "It's a very important part of our relationship, and so we've continued that practice.
"Even though there are times when it's more appropriate, of course, to send a text or an email ... when you really want to get a sentiment across, there's nothing like the artifact of the handwritten card."

"It's fascinating," he told Mashable. "I like to be as inclusive as possible, and I depend on technology. I just usually have smarter people than me telling me what I need to pay attention to this year. So it's really fascinating to try to be here and communicate with a group of people that are all smarter than me, and fascinated in all of this math and science that will make our world a better place."
As for attendees who showed up to see the latest in greeting card technology, not everyone was thrilled with the review.
As one disappointed industry buyer told Mashable: "It's just mail."
