There Are Plenty Of More Important Things About Which To Take Offense
-
I think we had an item before about that Hallmark card that... oh, yes, it was here. it's the one about the Hoops and YoYo card that has the cartoon characters with the high-pitched voices congratulating graduates for being smart, with a space theme that ends up with them talking about "black holes." And because someone somewhere thought, very incorrectly, that they were saying "black hos," the card was pulled off the market. If that wasn't moronic enough, the local NAACP branch here in L.A.'s South Bay suburbs has gotten the Carson City Council to consider a resolution to denounce the racism and pull the card. They also want a formal apology from Hallmark. Never mind that the card HAS been recalled -- some stores still have it, but they're supposed to send it back. Never mind that the card is NOT racist -- you can tell both by plain listening and in context that the word is "holes," not "hos" (which would not even make a tiny bit of contextual sense). One question: Are these people insane? (Daily Breeze)
