I Can Has Warm Fuzzies?
Hallmark can yank this, too...

My dad used to work for Hallmark, you know, the greeting-card company that pretty much cemented Valentine's to schmoop-schmoop consumerism?
According to Queerty and Gay.com, some seriously What-Were-They-Thinking??? content made it onto the racks for Father's Day. Called out by some rightfully freaked out consumers, the greeting-card giant was quick to re-evaluate their "sentiment", and yanked the cards from all shelves.
Whoops. The Gay Place is not satisfied. In fact, we say they can "Yank This" and, while they're at it, remain tied up and made to watch the Tyra Banks show for 72 hours straight. (Was it insensitive for us to say "straight"?)
