Jane Velez-Mitchell Not Amused By Awful "Rape Congratulations" Cards

Latest

HLN current affairs show host Jane Valez-Mitchell sounds positively pissed as hell as she discusses those hipstery-horrible greeting cards with a prosecutor, a rape survivor, and several other women. Video inside!

A breast cancer survivor, Velez-Mitchell doesn’t agree with You Stupid Bitch, the cards’ maker, that they’re so “positive and fun”:

Change.org is hosting a petition requesting Etsy to remove the cards from its website. Meanwhile, a mom-to-be named Amber says she personally asked Etsy to remove them, claiming that the cards violate Etsy’s vendor guidelines. Etsy refused, she reports, so she started a boycott. Amber’s thrilled by the news coverage of the issue. “Just goes to show that if one person screams loud enough someone will eventually hear you!,” she writes.
