"Roses are red/ Violets are blue/ you've hit puberty/ I'd like to shag you" Okay, no, not really. As far as I know Hallmark does not and would not produce a card with a rhyme like that. They have, however, put out a greeting card that, according to one mother, at least, apparently promotes teen sex.
The card, which features a picture of two wine glasses and asks "Care for some liquid clothes remover?", is, in my opinion, a bit tasteless and crude -- certainly not something I would ever give to someone. I'm not sure I see it specifically promotes teen sex. I can't imagine someone giving this card to someone -- teen or otherwise -- they weren't already intimate with without getting slapped for their trouble.
I know I would not want my teenage daughter getting a card promoting sex with teens. I just find it hard to believe though because Hallmark is such a family name. How would you feel if your daughter brought home a card like this?

I think it's pretty tacky no matter who it's intended for!

I mean, you could find that sort of thing on the internet if you wanted to, but Hallmark has always been, well, Hallmark! Why do they have to resort to all that?

exactly, such things have been out there already, especially with the internet. And I agree it is very tacky. What gets me though that Hallmark has always prided themselves on being a family company. This just seems to be out of their league and maybe could even be damaging to the companies image.
