Several Target shoppers who browsed the retailer's greeting card section were surprised to find a Whitney Houston joke wedged between the Happy Birthdays and Best Wishes. The now-inappropriate card reads "Next time you think of dating the bad boy, consider Whitney Houston," mocking both Houston and her ex Bobby Brown in the same stylized font.

They should replace it with a card that says "Next time you think of destroying a billion dollar career by becoming a trashy crack *****, consider Whitney Houston"

Don't like it? Don't buy it. Pretty simple concept.

Undoubtedly the complainers were black.

Proverbs hurt sometimes as they sum up the truth of life quickly.

All the whiny liberals had no problem with this card before Whitney killed herself.
