Target Pulls Cards Against Humanity Expansion Pack After Controversy
Fortune.com ^ | December 30, 2017 | Emily Price

Cards Against Humanity is known for its sometimes crude and often slightly offensive cards, but a new extra-offensive expansion pack for the game has gotten it pulled from Target shelves.

The Apple-to-Apple’s style game has players complete phrases and answer questions such as “What helps Obama unwind?” And “I’m sorry Professor, but I couldn’t complete my homework because of _____” with cards like “Racism,” “Vehicular manslaughter,” and “Poopy diapers.”

The almost always off-color cards recently went a bit too far for some players with its “Chosen People Pack,” an expansion pack for the original game with some cards that seem to make light of the Holocaust. For instance, one of the cards reads “Torturing Jews until they say they’re not Jews anymore,” Business Insider reports.

The cards are being sold on Cards Against Humanity’s site as a “Jew Pack.” The product description notes that 100% of the writers of the cards (and the game in general) happen to be Jewish, and that the pack includes “30 cards from our big brains full of facts and sadness.”

This is so wrong and more stores need to pull these cards from their store.

I think these were the card makers that were trying to buy a plot of land to stop the Trump wall. As if that’s going to work..

“100 percent of the writers of the cards happen to be Jewish”

I guess they thought the same rules apply as rappers and the n word.

Sadly, yes. I have co-workers (all libs) who have played it and think the crassness of the game is funny.

They once asked me to join them in a game and I politely declined.

“What helps Obama unwind?”

Weed, cocaine, and gay sex?

A couple of years ago the Cards Against Humanity producers offered as an exclusive online-only from their website an item called "Bullshit". It was in the same style black box and white font, reading simply "Bullshit".

No other description was given. Nobody knew what it was outside of the company. But it sold thousands and thousands of copies. Quite expensive too if I recall correctly. People assumed they were buying an expansion set or even an entirely new game.

When the Bullshit arrived at customer's home, they opened the black boxes and found... bullshit.

Literal dried clumps of bullshit.

If it’s a leftist company, they have a surplus of it.

“Sadly, yes. I have co-workers (all libs) who have played it and think the crassness of the game is funny.”

I am as conservative as they come and I love cards against humanity precisely because it is the most un-pc thing on the planet. You have to watch what you say at work or in public constantly, but with this game at least for a while you get to be as unPC as far as your imagination will take it while laughing hard enough to split your spleen in two

You almost have to feel sorry for the creators of these cards, who are Jews. Self-hating Jews, I might add. Jews almost certainly raised in secular homes, where money was the deity worshipped.

What is this business called “Target?” I know not of it or any business like it.

Tell me why I should be concerned about this business.

If I have not hear of it or know of it, it does not exist!

Nothing like painting a bullseye on your back

My nephew and his very liberal wife and my niece and her equally liberal husband all love the game. Late 30’s- early 40’s

“What helps Obama unwind?”

Dressing up in women's lingerie and having the Moose discipline him?

This is not a partisan issue. The game is hilarious, and is not meant for those easily offended or who are prone to virtue signaling. It’s irreverent and crass, yes. The fact that Target is, well, the target of this article is laughable. I’d much rather frequent Target than the sewer that is Walmart.

Wow. Is it hard to see where you're going with your nose stuck that far up in the air? You talk just like my arrogant liberal co-workers.
