inappropriate card yanked from shelves at Halark  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 85/100. oneandonemakesix (23975) 4 years ago

A lady who was shopping for a Wedding card, saw one that she claims promoted teen promiscuity, and teen sex and drinking, the card which showed 2 hands holding champaigne glasses, and then on hte inside made reference to liquid clothes remover,

All procedes of the cards were to go to charity, but the charity, AIDS awareness and AIDs organizations in Africa, may have missed its mark, I have read several places that is where the highest populaiton of AIDS is.

She took the card to the front where the clerk agreed with her, and the clerk offered a refund and upon refusal said the refund would be donated to charity.

Have you ever seen a card that you thought should not be displayed?

Have you done anything about it?
Or would you just put the card down and walk away?

I'd probably put the card down and walk away,
So I admire this woman for standing up for what she believed in.

Oh my goodness, that is something. That is really really bad. I am glad that I have never come across a card like hat, ad believe me if I did, I would do as the woman in the store did.

That's just ridiculous. It's a joke card, obviously geared towards and meant for adults. If we start pulling everything adult-related because a teenager "might see it" the world will be a very boring, G-rated place.

Am I missing something?
how does what you describe promote any of those things?
personally i think that is stupid
If you dont like the card then dont buy it
you dont have to pitch a fit over it because you dont like it
someone else might think its funny
i swear some people need to get over the little stuff

minus me please, thanks

Sometimes you have to sit back and wonder what these people are thinking when they make the cards. I do admire this lady who stood up for her belifes. I would just walk away if I saw something like that.

Oh for pete's sake - does this woman have nothing better to do than to look for something that offends her? First of all, she was looking for a cake knife - they're hard to find in the card rack. Then she went to the section designated as AIDS benefit cards. Thirdly, they offered her a refund - for what? She hadn't bought the card and hadn't yet bought the knife - exactly what were they planning to refund???

Apparently, she has never looked at some of the cards that pass for humor or she'd realize there's FAR MORE offensive products around than cards that will benefit AIDS. And, they're not targeting teenagers - they're targeting adults. Whether she likes it or not, her 18 year old IS an adult.

I just find it irritating that a single person can raise such a stink about something she wasn't even interested in to begin with. Is she a modern day Carrie Nation?

Hi mooch! Most probably, I think I will just walk away. However, if it really is indecent I will make it known to the manager of its content or nature.
Take care and God bless!

I do not think that I have ever come across anything like that. I guess if I did and I was not much for it I would just put it back and not think nothing more of it. I probably would not have thought about going up and making a complaint about it as that is just not me. I dont make much noise or fuss me, anything for a peaceful life.

I can't say that I have ever seen a card that was inappropriate. I would probably have just put the card down though without saying anything. I make my own cards so I don't see too many other cards.
