Claim: Hallmark card encourages teen sex

DOVER, N.H., April 14 (UPI) -- A New Hampshire mother says she wants a greeting card taken off Hallmark shelves because she believes it advocates teen sex.

The card in question shows two wine glasses on the cover with the words, "Pardon me ...," and reads on the inside, "Care for some liquid clothes remover?," the Portsmouth (Maine) Herald reported.

Cyndi Desrosiers, project coordinator for Allies in Substance Abuse Prevention in Portsmouth, reportedly has demanded the card be taken off Hallmark's shelves.

"Hallmark made an irresponsible decision to create this card. I have an 18-year-old daughter, and I would just die if someone gave this to her," Desrosiers said.

Desrosiers also noted the card was with a "Red" group of cards, the proceeds of which contribute to the fight against AIDS in Africa.
