Her premature death at the age of 48 shocked America. And now a U.S. supermarket has been forced to pull a greetings card from the shelves that poked fun Whitney Houston's relationship with her ex-husband Bobby Brown after a public outcry. Target offended their customer's by stocking the light-hearted product, which read: "Next time you think of dating the bad boy consider Whitney Houston."
The retail giant decided to pull the card after receiving angry complaints from customers.
The representative added: "As soon as this was brought to our attention, we began the process of removing the card from all applicable stores." A company spokesman insisted it had been available long before the I Will Always Love You singer's body was discovered on February. 11 in the bathtub of a Beverly Hills hotel room. "It is never our intent to offend guests with the products we offer, and we take feedback from guests very seriously." Whitney and former New Edition member Bobby were married for nearly five years before divorcing in 2007, and he has been blamed by many for getting the singer involved in drugs.
