Dover store pulls offensive greeting card
Sphere: Related ContentDOVER, N.H. — A Portsmouth woman contends a greeting card sends a negative message to teens by combining alcohol and sex.Cyndi Desrosiers, an employee of Allies for Substance Abuse Prevention, said she was taken back when she read the card at Nicole’s Hallmark. “I was appalled. I can’t believe Hallmark would do this,” Derosiers said.
On the cover the card features a glass of wine and reads “Pardon Me,” the inside says “Care for some liquid clothes remover?” The card is part of Hallmark’s RED line. Money from every sale funds the fight against AIDS in Africa.
Desrosiers said the alcohol and sex message gets kids into trouble and hits too close to the young people she counsels. She asked the manager of Nicole’s, Janet Perry, to pull the card.
Perry obliged and contacted Hallmark asking them to stop production on the card. “We agreed that this was not an appropriate card,” said Perry.
Derosiers said she realizes there are other racy cards on the market and hopes that her voice combined with the public’s buying power will make for some cleaner punchlines.

Oh for heaven’s sake. Doesn’t this anal broad understand that teens are too damn busy text messaging, My Space surfing, taking You Tube vids of themselves beating up other kids to bother browsing the greeting card isles? Hell they’ve probably never used a postage stamp before much less know how to write their names on a card. Get over it hun. Stop trying to push your egomoniacle “morals” on the rest of us.
