Target Tells a Blogger to Go Away
Posted by jen January 28th, 2008 in Jeneral.And stop buggering htem about thier pervy visions - more or less.
Some bloggers are all up in arms over Target ignoring thier calls that the ad of a wintery dressed woman doing a spread eagle on a giant target logo is essentially putting her crotch on the bulleye.
I think ShapingYouth, the blog in question, has crotch on the brain.
Target thinks so too as they've basically patted her on the head and scamper along as they don't deal wth bloggers. Which is frankly refreshing when so many retailers and corporations are going after bloggers for saying things, even nice things about them.
If you look at the pic, you get the message - she's making a snow angel not any sexual statements. If you've seen TV in the last five years you know Target seems to love to play with their logo. That's one of the things I love about them. They aren't afraid to break convention and have fun with their image. They have even successfully sold a line of pajamas and t-shirts scattered with the logo after customer demand for them after seeing them in a commericial.
As my friend Ginny said when I showed her this, "sometimes a snow angel is just a snow angel."
Exactly. It's like demanding an apology from P&G because you think the Pringle's man is winking at you.

People worry too much about this stuff. She could be wearing a burlap sack sitting on a pile of manure and guys would be imagining her crotch.
No need to put it in a target.
BTW, I love the new look!
I’m looking for sex everywhere, and even I wouldn’t have picked that one out as having naughty undertones.
What do you mean the pringle’s guy isn’t winking at me? Don’t mess with my fantasies.
Oh, and I love Target ads too.
