The stationery stores have since modified a handful of the "offensive" products with bright yellow censored stickers. 。
A spokesperson for the brand sort-of apologised for the incident, saying "whilst some of our products are more irreverent than others, we do appreciate that as a gift retailer, our customers fall either side of our target audience of 18-35 so where relevant we use censor stickers on products not appropriate for a younger audience." 。
