Cards in the “Chosen People Pack” version of the Cards Against Humanity game were flagged on social media in recent days for lines like “Can’t you see, the Jews are behind everything — the banks, the media, even _____!” and “Torturing Jews until they say they aren’t Jews anymore.”

Cards Against Humanity partnered with Target for a Father's Day Sale and they threw us a massive curveball — the Father’s Day Sale had to be in the DVD section, which is where fathers shop. The answer was obvious: create awesome fake dad movies from the 90s. Cards Against Humanity is a simple game where there are no winners or losers. Each round, a player asks a question from a black card and the rest of them answers with their funniest white card. This card game comes with 600 total cards and includes a booklet of preposterous alternate rules and sensible game rules.

Target is “aware of this extended card pack of the game Cards Against Humanity,” a spokesperson wrote on Twitter Thursday evening, “and are in the process of removing it from our stores.”

Target pulled an expansion of Cards Against Humanity – called the 'Chosen People Pack' – from shelves, after complaints of anti-Semitism. The expansion is sold as the 'Jew Pack' on the Cards Against Humanity website. Cards Against Humanity? It's a group card game, where players compete to pair the funniest/cleverest/most offensive answer cards in response to question cards.

“We apologize for any disappointment as it is never our intention to offend our guests with the products we carry,” added the spokesperson for Target, which is the second-largest discount store retailer in the United States.

The retailer did not say in how many stores the game was currently stocked.

The game is based on offensive content, according to the maker’s description.

“Cards Against Humanity is a party game for horrible people,” reads the description of the game on its website. “Unlike most of the party games you’ve played before, Cards Against Humanity is as despicable and awkward as you and your friends.”

Mike Lieber posted photos of the 'Chosen People Pack,' which he spotted on clearance at Target on Thursday.

He took pictures of the most offensive cards, which read 'Torturing Jews until they say they're not Jews anymore,' 'The part of Anne Frank's diary where she talks about her vagina' and 'Can't you see? The Jews are behind everything - the banks, the media, even ___!'

'Despicable beyond,' Lieber wrote.

'To those saying 'but that's the point of the game,' 2 things, 1. I don't find anti-Semitic jokes humorous 2. for some reason, this is their only set targeting a religion/ethical group,' Lieber added.

Target responded to the tweet, telling Lieber they plan to pull the expansion pack from their stores.
