Controversy[1]
In 2010, Hallmark pulled the card off shelves after members of the Los Angeles, California chapter of the NAACP claimed that it contained a racist message.
The greeting card contained the phrase: "And you black holes, you're so ominous! And you planets? Watch your back!"
However, the Los Angeles NAACP members felt that the card was offensive because "black holes" sounded like "black whores" in the audio recording.
Hallmark denied that the card was in any way racist, but pulled it from its stores nonetheless which has been sold for three years now with no complaints.
Trivia
