weak...they offer political cards for both sides, lighten up. Basically just like reading political cartoons. I see no wrong done here, just a little friendly banter IMO.

ehh, it's not too bad. They actually throw jabs at either side.

"This card provides another image of Obama telling recent graduates, “You’re going to be a success Grad …”

Inside, it reads: “Just don’t make over 250K a year or I’ll tax the heck out of you!”

Those jabs are not equal.

I'm boycotting Hallmark, but not for that reason - most of their cards are now made in China.

Paying ~$5 for a card is something I won't do. Get my cards from the cheap rack at Target! Guess I started boycotting early.

^ Exactly! I hate getting cards, and I won't give them. Waste of money.

I'd have boycotted them over trying to drain men's wallets over every meaningless (cough...Feb 14th...cough) holiday.

You married fellows might not be able to follow suit...I guess.

I've always boycotted them.

1) They are way too expensive
2) Very few of them are actually funny (anyone can write a sappy card)

As for their recent cards in the link, give me a break, those are lame funny at best. Everyone is just so PC programmed that they want to be offended by something. A friend of mine describes it perfectly as the pussification of America.

I guess I don't belong to my generation, as I always prefer receiving a real letter over an email or phone call over text.

As far as hallmark is concerned, a card is a card. If they think they could make money on it, they will attempt it. After all, this article is referencing a joke, lighten up!

........................Lighten up???????? No, I think not...
Might as well be Adolf Hitler on the front and the card read...
"Stay away from the ovens" and the inside read "They are for jews".

Greeting cards shouldn't me made to offend...

And its not just that...my point is the left liberal slant of the media...
I challenge anyone in here to find a card by hallmark that is a joke/jab at the left! I will bet you can't find one...Its always a jab at the right, ALWAYS!

Wow, really? Can't tell if you're serious or just trying to be a troll. Comparing a lame joke about the tea parties to the holocaust? I'll repeat what I and Loomdog said - "lighten up."
